I guess we would imagine including this as additional functionalities, as, as you said, it does not fit for a public server.

This is part 1 of what I came up with for PHP based upload which is the upload form that I placed in savane/frontend/php/files/add.php see the attached file.

NOTE! This is not recommended for a public site, I use this over SSL with Apache configured to require client certificates on a private site.

Ok, this is more of a feature request but I don't necessarily want you to go to the trouble of adding a feature on my behalf, I would like any assistance I can get creating a php upload page that will upload files directly to each groups download area from the Files menu option. So instead of the add.php which just gives proper shell command syntax I would like an actual page with Browse, Description, and upload capability. I've gone through all the tutorials and php documents and samples but I have no clue how to incorporate this into the Savane environment. I can't seem to get the proper variables into the pages I've worked on i.e. $files_path $group_id and so on. I'm not a php programmer so forgive me for my ignorance. If anyone has a working example that will upload to a directory based upon group_id I would greatly appreciate it. In terms of security and performance I am not worried about those issues - site I am doing this for is relatively small and requires client certificates just to access the savane home page.
Thanks for any assistance.
