The Get-Post option...

I believe it does.  But this opens up another question... using FTP 
to upload files, wouldn't that mean my program would have to have my 
username and password built into it?  Doesn't sound like a very 
secure option.

I've been hearing some rather disturbing things about using options 
that let people upload or change files on my website.  It sounds like 
if I do anything where I must set the file permissions to 
"read/write" it could open up a very serious security hole.  My web 
host says that people could theoretically upload actual programs that 
would execute and that could do all sorts of things both to my 
website and out into the world at large, and actually create worms 
and viruses that run from my website.

As for moving a file from the TEMP folder, can this also be done from .php?

Can the TEMP folder be read as any other URL can?
