[Semi-OT] Eaaaaaasy OSX FTP

numero = 54840
interpreted = N
texte = My client (on OSX) wants to be able to 'easily' FTP up some Quicktime movies of his own to his website where his clients can then watch it/download it. I've been down this road many times before and it has never been pretty. He wants it *right now* (don't they all)? 1) I have an FTP account set up for him and he is 'locked down' to only the directory he lands in (he is one that would innocently break the website if he were free to roam. He no understand FTP. What should I do? walk him through an install of Fetch or something? Does OSX have a built in FTP? I suppose if I was comfy with him uploading I could then just do a [listfiles] on a password-protected template and make a link list.... and also a download for Quicktime... 2) I have a working WebDNA-powered upload page (pieced together with code from Storebuilder and snippets of code I've found in the archives). This would be much easier, but I cannot restrict him from dumping 5GB at a time or whatever to the server via HTTP. It just doesn't seem like a good idea. Any consumer-level level FTP stuff going on that I can tap into, like, does Safari or IE have drag & drop FTP?
