What I did is this:

Made a special role and in the upload module I am allowing only a certain group of people to upload files and download them. - That worked fine.

But how can a user upload a file to the website, without editing the post and going under "Attachments" and selecting "upload"?

have a look at the fileshare module (http://drupal.org/project/fileshare) or web file manager module (http://drupal.org/project/webfm). this may get you closer to the functionality you are looking for since they don't require you to access a node to perform an upload.

hi

does anyone know why the fileshare project yields access denied?

I'm trying to upload a file without going through the hassle of creating a content.

Thanks

due to a secure flaw discovered last year, the module was removed from drupal.org. there has been no suitable replacement, but there are some workarounds.

see http://drupal.org/node/211469 for more info.
