php direct file upload via url?

[cmose]

hey all,
I've been searching around and haven't been able to turn up much on this. I've used the php file functions to do a file upload via a post form before but I'm curious if it is possible to initiate a direct upload by passing things via url, e.g., on the user's end, they do something that builds the url with a reference to the file name and local file location and the script processes the upload (point is that user never sees a web browser or something of that, also to get around fire wall concerns regarding ftp upload for some people).
thanks much for input!

I'm pretty sure that's a "no" especially if you're working from within the browser. Reason being is its a security risk to pass a link in a web page which triggers the browser to automatically fork over a client side file. That's a major no-no.

yeah, I figured as much, would've just made life easier 😉

And MUCH MUCH MUCH less secure.
