I may have hit "send" too soon...
Like, when you do FTP, do you see: index.htm page2.htm page3.htm right away? *OR*, do you see: public_html And then you do "cd public_html" and THEN you see the files? If you don't do "cd public_html" then I really don't think accepting file uploads is a Good Idea, unless you have access to /tmp or something to put the files in... If you do "cd public_html" then you actually HAVE space outside your webtree. Just do "mkdir uploads" and "chmod 777 uploads" *BEFORE* you do "cd public_html" and you'll have an uploads dir outside the webtree where you can put stuff. NOTE: Some fancy FTP tools like DreamWeaver and whatnot will convince you to put "public_html" into some input box somewhere, to give you the convenience of not needing to "cd public_html" -- which then means you never *SEE* that you have space outside your webtree... Stop doing that. An extra click or whatever to get into public_html is not that big of a deal.
