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?

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!
