Sure -- Gmail's "Basic HTML" interface for attachments is a good example. I'd advise doing a web search or two for HTTP file uploads, multipart forms, and so on. Just a tip with regarding to posting to this and other lists -- if you put your response *below* the quoted text that you are replying to, it helps people understand the conversation, and doesn't force them to scroll down and try to figure out who said what when (which can be a bit frustrating).

If they're not too large, you could use a simple web form to upload everything to a script which then takes care of adding data to the database or filesystem as appropriate -- no need for FTP.

Re: The Never-Ending Saga Continues
Of course. 1) I need to upload data: images and other fields (mainly varchar, int). 2) I want to upload the "other fields" to a MySQL database. 3) Since it is so problematic, I now want to upload the images to *anything but* a MySQL database (presumably ftp) 4) I want to make this easy (transparent) for my client. Let her just fill out a form and be done with it.

The Never-Ending Saga Continues
Hi; Now that we know for sure that my code isn't to blame for not being able to download/access images from MySQL I have contacted my hosting service to see if they will do anything about it. Presuming they won't, I need to find a work-around. What I am looking for is a way to upload data into MySQL *and* simultaneously, in the same form (to make it easy for the user), ftp images into a directory. Any way to do this? TIA, Victor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
