http://askubuntu.com – I want a web page on my Ubuntu server (Apache for example), where when I visit the page in my browser, there should be an Upload button, and I click on it, browse the local machine for a file, and upload it, and it gets uploaded to a folder on my server. I also want to be able the web page to be able to show a list of all files in that directory and allow me to click on their links to download them. Any simple way? I don't want to use FTP or ownCloud (which I have). I want an even simpler alternative. (HowTos)

If I upload files to the webserver from any user OTHER than www-data, then I get a 403 error when I try to access the uploaded files from the browser. I can run "chmod 777" on the file and it works fine then, but it's very tedious to have to do this to every file I upload. Is there a way to make it so any of my users in the www-data group can upload files (via FTP) without issue?

ftp upload problem 3 years 25 weeks ago

Hello, I have a problem when trying to upload (ftp) a file to a specific server. In detail, I have 6 PCs with Ubuntu 8.10 that are on the internet with different IPs. One of the machines is the server that I use to upload and download files using the rest of the machines.

My Question: Our webhost provider wont make it so we can upload .html files to our DNN site trhough the DNN File Manager page. Is that normal, should I push them to allow me to do this?

We have recently transferred our website to a Dot Net Nuke run website. We originally had our website on a Linux server with Python scripts handling the backend.

I have a mobile web page which includes an input element of type 'file', to allow users to upload image files to a server. The page works fine on iOS, and on a Nexus 4 (Android 4.2.1) in the Chrome Browser.

I'm serving my website using Nginx as web server. I offer upload functionality to my users (they are allowed to submit pictures up to 5Mb) so I have the directive: client_max_body_size 5M; in my server config. What I've noticed is that if I try to upload any file the webserver does not prevent the upload of bigger files.

I have a script which will upload files from a specific directory (with rsync) to the server, but in the mean time another script will pull files from the server (also with rsync and with the --delete flag).

This means, that when I add a lot of files to it and rsync is in the process of uploading files and the download script is also being run, some files (which are not yet uploaded to the server

Hi, this is my first post here and I am relatively new to Linux. I'm working with a dual-boot laptop running Ubuntu 10.0/Windows 7 and a Debian 5 VPS while the OS's shouldn't have much impact on my question.

What the hell is imgur? Imgur, my friend, is the best image host in all the interwebz. It's my current image host of choice because of its simple design, fast speed, and overall awesomeness.
