 * Hi,
    Does anyone know of a hack that would allow you to upload files to your 
   blog, like with some forums and boards. Not images but word docs, zip files and
   so on. hail hail brian

 * Thanks for that…..
    Looks to be working OK. Although it does not upload the files.
   The folder is writeable and the file size is ok. There are no errors in the upload
   process, although when i click the link it is dead. and when i check the folder
   through ftp its empty. any ideas /

 * If you are using FTP to check, why aren’t you just using FTP to start with?

 * I could see this feature as something useful and to answer NuclearMoose, it would
   be advantous to have this ability for those bloggers who have access to the blog,
   to upload non-image files, without the use of FTP, as FTP can be a bit confusing
   to some.

 * Got it working fine now.
    The problem was the doc’s are a bit un clear as to 
   what permissions to set the upload folder to on the server. founnd for iit to
   work I had to set it to 777. And it worked no problem. As for this feature. i
   agree with skebrown. It adds extra fuctionality to the system. FTP iis my prefered
   method but this is a very good feature. thanks all….
