Thanks again. I guessed this as a corollary to your first reply, but good to have it confirmed.

Thanks. Good point. I can stop looking. I thought it a good idea if someone uploaded to be able to offer the same file as default next time they repeated.

Using a form with enctype = "multipart/form-data and input type = "file" I can browse for a file on the users PC and upload to webpage. Is it possible to determine the full pathname of the file selected by the user? $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] gives just the file name not the full pathname. Is there a list of properties used by $_FILES. I can find only 'name', 'tmp_name', 'size', 'type', 'error'.

Thanks. Valuable advice. I conclude the solution lies in using ftp somehow on my home computer leaving me with a steep learning curve but at least on the right track.

I want to upload a file automatically at any time from my home PC to a website I am developing. I can upload OK using a form with 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' but this requires manual operation to select a file and to submit the upload request. Is there a way the upload process can be made to happen with no operator present? I also want to download from the website to my PC automatically ie. download a file (as it becomes available) from the website to a specified location on my PC, without operator intervention. Help. Thanks.
