Talking script to simulate a windows based FTP

Hi I need a script to simulate a windows based FTP. I have a folder protected by a password using htaccess, I want users to be able to drag and drop image files (tiff) to their desktops. Is there a php script that allows you to see the contents of a folder so you can do this. I can achieve this by using the browser to FTP to a folder with the tiff images in but that means giving out FTP details. Any help yes please.

What about setting up an FTP account for use by your members? Give that account access only to those folders and only read access.

Re: script to simulate a windows based FTP

Thanks Rakuli I was thinking along those lines this morning but I didnt know if you could create multiply users on my hosting account (or do I need to buy a separate account) and I didnt know you could change the parameters of the users on a ftp account. How do you do this? Do you have to request this to be done by the hosting company?

Thanks again

Managed to add a new user to the account. Works great as they only have access to their folder but they can upload which is not ideal I guess. Cheers again
