Hi,

So here's the deal; I'm hosting several people on a virtual server
running Linux (White Box Enterprise), each of which has an internet
presence. (Apache webserver.) They're also web novices. I want to
develop a method by which they can upload photos to a folder on the
server from their client computer, without having to use FTP, creating
the folder if necessary. This would be accessed from the client-side
from a signed applet. How could this be done, short of granting
univeral write access in the folder? Is there a way (for instance)
that a user can access their remote account with the rights of their
local user? I.E., as if they'd logged in via FTP? This should run as
quietly as possible, not requiring HTML forms and the like.

I'm new to Apache programming, so I'd appreciate any links to
possibilities for doing this, or any projects that've already done it.

Thanks,
