I think that was one of the nicest "little" features Netscape put into 3.xx & 4.xx - how hard would it be to upload a file when you're logged into an FTP session, and display it if you're in a regular browsing session? I'd add it myself, but unfortunately I couldn't program my way out of a wet paper bag... I remember bits and pieces of Basic, Fortran, Pascal, and Prolog (there's a (NOT) useful programming language) but I haven't touched anything like that in 12 years. 10 PRINT "HELP!" 20 GOSUB 10 30 END (I know... with the GOSUB it isn't necessary, but shortcuts aren't cool ;) Help!
