I would be hesitant to use this service. Do you store FTP information? I don't think I'd ever pass my information through a service.

[morency]

No , the ftp info are not stored !!
You can make a ftp user and test the site and see the features ..

The best FTP client I've ever used...it supports SFTP and SSH (if your server has it). Filezilla is decent too.

How can I make an HTML or Javascript dropbox that allows users to submit data via ftp? I'm trying to make a page for my site that allows users to fill out a form and submit the information so that whatever they submit goes to a folder on my desktop. I was thinking that however I did this it would probably involve ftp but I was hoping that there was a way to do this without going into PHP or making users get an ftp client . Does anyone know how I can do this?

Personally I'd never use any service like that, it's too much of a risk to give anyone your ftp details, in a nearer to ideal world you'd have a static ip and only allow ftp access from that address alone. It adds an extra layer of security but that's the job of a good firewall....

@eakinasila - doing this without php or some coding would be like flying without wings, you're gonna need to code to get it working, a mix of php and raw ftp commands should suffice.

You'd need a form with server side code that validates the upload and uploads to a directory on your website, then have a scheduled task running on your local machine that ftp's to your site, picks up the files and downloads them to your desktop.

The ftp'ing of the files is easy enough, the protocol is straightforward when working with it through the command line, it's the file uploads bit you need to take the most care over, security on uploads forms is critical.

Psuedo:

remote: form -> validation -> file storage
local: scheduled .bat file to run the ftp commands

i'd get the upload form to write files to a directory for that day and hour.

example: /2009-11-25/1200

Then schedule an hourly .bat file with the ftp commands to log in, get the files and dump them in a corresponding folder on your desktop.

contents of .bat file:

@ftp -s:ftp.txt >> import_log.txt

contents of ftp.txt

open ftp_server
username
password
cd directory_you_need_to_be_in
get *.txt
quit

this way nobody needs an ftp client as the .bat file uses window's built in ftp executable.

there are some really cool tutorials on ftp commands, bat (batch) files and automating them as scheduled tasks, i went through a load of them a few months back to automate a few huge tasks that involved ftp.

Well I trust morency as I know him from sites as codingtalk, wapforum.in he has always created and shared good and trustworthy scripts and services.
Most people here hasn't got a clue what real mobile web coding is even most of the bigshot coders using mobile plugins(its not wap) guys like morency have been coding using phones from wml language and up so I think they deserve more respect they are true mobile coders.

thanks for your good words.... For the moment the site is off because is moved on a VPS and need to compile ftp extensions ...or something like this ) ... And me and Linux , not good friends :P
