I put a simple upload script here a while back.

Why not try to use that as a basis for your upload script and then get back to us if you have any problems.

You might also find it useful to read up on the CGI.pm module.

I don't know what server you're on, but if you're on a Cobalt RaQ, set permissions to 755 for the directory instead, it's a lot safer.

ps - in answer to your question about how does it log in, it doesn't. I think you need to read a bit more background info on how CGI works - this is a good book to get you going. You might as well be asking how a web browser logs in to your server to get a web page. Read the explanation of CGI for a bit of background info. In fact, Amazon even have the relevant info online
