my host does not allow write permissions to php, so i can not take uploaded files and write them to disk, like i would like to do. I was actually able to get an ftp solution to work... where a form submits a file to the php script, the script reads the temporary file that is created (php can create temp files, thats it) and then connects to the site through my ftp account and writes the files. This works... but not very well. The ftp server my host uses kinda sucks, and php's ftp functions aren't so great... so i get timeouts a lot, and errors a lot (not all the time, just a lot), especially with larger files (like above 200K... which sucks).
Although this solution "works", ftp just doesn't seem like the way to work around my host's restrictions, so i was wondering if you guys knew of any other way?
