Before I embark on this little project, or just hunt for one already
written (anyone have suggestions?), when creating an Upload script, how
does one go about files coming from different platforms?
We have a unix FTP server and we'd like to make an Upload function
on our website, where people can fill in a form with their information,
select their (local) file to be uploaded and submit it. However, I'm
somewhat at a loss when it comes to things like:
- how to handle files with spaces in them?
- how to handle files created on a Mac platform, that include
characters like / , or a Mac-dot (OPTION-8), stuff that wouldn't
normally be allowed in a PC formatted file name
- how to handle Mac font files. Whenever we have clients email us
individual fonts, it never comes through because of the font
control file. We always get a 0 byte file. (might this be
because our mail server is also unix, and mac files are 7-bit,
versus PC/Unix being 8-bit?)
I'm sure there are other issues to cope with, but these are the
immediate ones I can think off. Does anyone have a relatively robust
Upload function written, or one you'd recommend using?
