Hi.
Can anyone point me to an action or a way in which I can allow people upload their images to my website?
Thanks for looking.

This is a subject that comes up quite often and should be considered carefully before you put it into practice.
There are numerous upload scripts out there but you have to be so careful allowing any files to be uploaded to your server.
It only takes one malicious file upload to take down your server - and remember that it is very likely that there may be hundreds of sites that share your server space. Do you want to be responsible for their loss of service?
What exactly is your requirement in a file upload - will it be restricted to certain users?
A bit more info will help us point you to a suitable solution.

Hi David and thanks for the reply.
The purpose of this is to allow friends and family upload images and PDF files for me to add to the site so I would like to restrict the file type if possible to .pdf or .jpeg along with a size restriction also of maybe 500k per file.
I would also like to restrict file uploads to registered users if possible?
I have a business package with one and one so I would hope their security is good although nothing is 100% secure.
Any advice is greatly received.
Thanks

In that case I would put my upload page in a secure folder (Password Protected Directory) that only your F&F would have access to.
Have a look at http://www.deltadesign.co/examples/fileuploader.html - this is inactive but utilises a script from Upload Plus, uploads made easy. File uploader with user commands and has been running for years.
It lives in a protected directory so while it may not be the most secure or up to date upload script out there it does the job.
Sites like http://www.phpscripts.com/ or http://www.hotscripts.com/ have loads of scripts to choose from - many free.
Find one that you like the look of and we can help integrate it into your FW page.
Alternatively I believe that Forms To Go http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/overview/ has the ability to include an upload but I have never used it.
