I almost doesn't know it either, it's just an acquaintance, not a friend.

Just a way to get all filenames in a directory into a variable would be very helpful.

In perl, just use opendir and readir thus;

$directory = '/tmp/files';
@files = ();
opendir (DIR, $directory);
while ($file = readdir(DIR)) {
push @files, $file;
}
closedir(DIR);

and @files has your list of files.

Thanx, will test this!

It fixed one of the problems, the one with listing the files, now I just need to fix the upload.

THANX!!!

Hey, maybe, I can use the same solution for that one... will see

I've made a script with your help that finds the right filename but when it shall download it it says "no such file", arghh!

Make sure to chmod the permissions of the uploads folder to 777, or else people will not be able to upload files there (need public write access and all).
