I need to set up a system where the users of my website who already have a username and password stored in a mySQL database can upload and download files into a the users own directory.
The thing is this directory will not be on the web server. I would like to do a ssl ftp conection to another computer so I dont overflow the webserver with data. My question is, is there a reliable way to have a user upload their files to a directory created for them on the ftp machine and still be able to monitor the download directory. Basically what I am asking is how can a user access a directory on a remote machine and view the contents of there directory via the main website.
Thanx in advance for any advice.
