David, ESS Uploader (http://www.energyscripts.com/projects/essuploader/) is a nice simple bit of kit to handle the upload. Once uploaded, I use a dynamic directory scan to find and list the uploaded files. Assuming you want something a little more secure, do you have any databases available to you? If you can explain a little more about how you expect the security to work in #3, I can help further. For instance, on one of my sites, you have to belong to a particular group to display a link to the file in that group. Each link is dynamically created and specific to the IP address of the person generating the list, so the link cannot be passed onto another person. The true name of the file is never given out. Instead, a content header is sent for the particular type of file, and the fie streamed to the recipient over a data link.

Need to be able to upload files to a website using PHP code. 2. Need to be able to generate some type of link to files stated in #1. 3. Need to be able to keep those links decently secure. I know that this is a lot, if anyone can help me with parts 1 & 2 those are the critcal ones. Finally, thanks to everyone ahead of time, I know that this is the best source of information on the net (interweb/tubes).
