in thread Problem linking a file in CGI script

Hi,

The scenario is, i am developing a web space wherein users can upload their files to my server and can view them whenever required.

I succeeded in accomplishing the upload task and i am able to list the files in the directory. But i am not able to add the feature of providing links to the files.

Does this mean i will not be able to provide the link feature at all?

Then, `file://` will not work anyway, because `file://` urls only work locally. Most likely you will want to use `<a href=".../$filename">$filename</a>` style links and serve the files to your users through your webserver.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
