Hi everyone,

I am very new here so please forgive me if I sound really clueless!

I am trying to create a page on my site where my clients can upload files to me. I have installed CCK and FileField and I can successfully upload files via the edit page.

How do I provide this same functionality to an end user wihout entering the edit page?

Thanks in advance.

Unless you use a module like web file manager (http://drupal.org/project/webfm), I believe that the only way users can upload data is by creating content, as you have done, that allows them to do so.

Thanks for the help! I have installed WebFM and it does exactly what I asked for!

Does you have any recommendations for other modules?

I specifically am trying to set up a site where my clients can send me their files and I can also upload completed work for retrieval. Ideally, I would like to have separate folders for each client which are only readable by that account holder. I am guessing I can do some of this with roles... Although it does sound like alot of work to create a new role and permissions for every single client account that gets added!! Also very messy too.

Any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

Thanks again :)

You can use a module such as tac_lite, but the only way that will work is if you apply taxonomy terms to drupal pages, and associate each uploaded file with such a page. In other words, create a taxonomy (each user's name), apply a term to a drupal page, then attach a file to each page. Simply uploading files to a folder will not suffice, I do not believe.
