    unique upload system

    hey everyone,

    Sorry for asking for help in my first post

    Anyway,

    I have a really good internet connection, which i want to make use of it by combining it with my 200 gig hard drive into a file hosting site.

    The above task, i have no problem at all.

    the problem is that, i need a simple upload system/script that does these following tasks:

    1. basic function (upload the file to the given folder on server)

    2. show link to the file as an id, example (download.php?id=512) OR show a greeting message saying, "File has been uploaded and your id is 512" and then, to download the file, they have to enter a unique id (examle 512) at the home page, where it says, pick up the file

    3. weather they are given the link to the file or just the id number, i want them to be taken to the downloading page where they either wait few seconds before download starts or where they see ads on a page where download of the file begins

    any help plz

    Try hotscripts.com see if you can find a GPL or similar image / file host.

    PHP would probably be the best language to use as its free from a server point of view.

    Im guessing you will be running it from a seperate computer? Well if you are i would recomend wacking linux on there to give you a little more stability, if not, then you could always look at asp scripts (if running IIS)

    Best thing i would recomend, would be install linux, find a free control panel if you wish (http://www.web-cp.net) is one but there is more out there. get apache, mysql and php as a good base. And then find a nice little GPL php script.

    That way it will keep your costs down pretty low.

    Hope that helps and gives you some direction.

    I don't recommend you run an upload system on your computer unless you are prepared for viruses etc. look for a host that can support that or could help you set up the system

    Just a quick word, what type of upload speed does your internet connection have?? Upload is what is really going to count when people want to download stuff from you..

    checkwith you ISP as they may not allow hosting on a home connection. Sorry to say, but home hosting at a larger leave is a bad idea...
