File upload/downlaod using browser

[Guest]

Hello Everyone

I have to construct a webpage and need some help on deciding how to go about
doing it. I would very much appreciate any help. I am using FrontPage 2000 on
a Win2k machine (Fat32 partition), hosting can be on Unix, Linux or Windows
machine (will decide after constructing pages).

Description:

The Website will have a login page from where customers (with unique
username and password) can login to their accounts and upload/download files.
I will have admin privileges (account creation, modification, removal etc)
for these accounts. Once the customer logs in, he should be able to see an
extremely simple screen that shows three work categories:
1) Upload Area: files that are uploaded by the customer
2) Work in progress files
3) Download Area: latest files available for download
Upload/download through web only (root address to remain same, for example
www.myweb43.com/login). Should be very secure area.

There should be no delay in implementation of administrator-initiated
changes (including account modifications, file relocation) or
customer-initiated changes (uploads/downloads).

Number of customers will be around 20 (at any one time). Each will upload
and download files, total volume 25 Mb. Five new accounts to be created
everyday, which will be deleted in 4 days. Files will be MS Word Docs, Excel
spreadsheets, PowerPoint etc.

Thanks very much for your help.

You need a DB and custom server side scripting
- Easiest way in FP is to use a Windows host that supports Access and ASP
- but you can also look a PHP an MySQL on Unix

Really should decide the hosting platform before constructing the site, so you will know what
technologies you can use.
