Thanks Owen, Can I use the apache as an http to ftp proxy in order to do so? Port 21/ ftp protocol is blocked by a firewall. The ftp uses PASV mode. How can it be done? It will not be an anonymous ftp server, users will have to log into it.

The web is essentially an environement for *down-loading* remote documents, ie it is read-only... If you want to *upload* documents, you need to arrange this specially. There are several techniques: - use a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" and an <input type="file"> tag (see a good HTML book for details). BTW, you need server-sided logic to handle the data and write it to a file. - use mod_dav (distributed authoring) or equivalent to enable the PUT method of HTTP (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html) - use an FTP server to upload Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > I have checked all the operating system permissions (RedHat > SE 4.3) and they are all correct. > > How can it be done?
