    Ok guys

    Ive set up a linux xerver with apache and mysql

    I want to allow users to upload file to the site, similar to the way one can upload html pages ot the members sections on boards.

    I've heard you have to setup a ftp server, how accurate is this? and how difficult would it be to set-up??

    Thanks,
    king

    You don't need to use the ftp protocol to upload a file - http will do fine. Read up about forms and form submission in html. You could code your pages in php which has handy functions for dealing with uploaded files.

    There are lots of tutorials on doing this sort of thing, eg.
