If you mean they should ftp to my site and drop off the files, that's what they
are doing now and that's what we're trying to get around. They ftp the files
and send notice via a webpage to say they've dropped off a batch. The html calls
a perl script that emails a bunch of info to the appropriate people. I can get
the perl script to process one file via the input type=file. I need a whole
directory of files with the least amount of work on the user end. They would go
to a webpage, fill in the "My name is" stuff and "My files are" stuff. Then the
perl script (or some other tool) would copy the files from their site to mine.
If you say that Netscape can do this; How?
