nikefido Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi - I have been tasked to help develop an online application that will "securely" manage users files - anyway, the major issues are 1) Security and 2) server load ============================ In terms of security, I believe using an FTP rather than the usual "move_uploaded_file" is more secure as you don't necessarily need to chmod files. However, how would a web server handle multiple FTP connections if the application has a potentially "large-ish" number of users at the same time? (Perhaps a better question is "What's the best way to reduce the load on a server"). How would any of you suggest going about this project? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikefido Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Other question - does anyone have any experience password protecting individual files? Also, about my above question, I'm going to have to go the non-FTP route (im sure) - I just have to work to make it secure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypaw201 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 have you thought about SSL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
