Yes, we have end users (non-employees) and other employees from all geographies (slow connections in China, India), USA, europe, etc, etc. uploading files of any size and any shape. Video files, audio files, executables, PDFs, anything. This is a general purpose file upload solution for our content management system used worldwide. We can't really create a list of users and such, as it's open to anyone to contribute. We still moderate/filter/etc. as needed. We're not worried about security, each file will have its own unique location so they wouldn't clobber each other, and they'll be isolated and not executed on the server, so security to me isn't a concern. The webserver is already open to the world, SSH/SFTP and FTP are not; so that would technically open that up to the world, and actually open up more attack vectors :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
