Upload Form, please test!

[UncleDave]

Hi, could a few people try here and let me know if you have any problems accessing the upload form/page

I have had to put IP bans in place, some flippin German chav equivalents have been uploading crap onto it.. quite annoying!
I don't want this to mean other innocent people being banned, though... so if you have problems I will have to get around it somehow.

Dave.


Edit: Yes the address is http://ph.uncle-dave.co.uk/upload/

Tower, what tower, I can't see a tower

Incidently, have you thought about having all upload images put into a safe area for approval before publication. That way you can review the images before allowing them to be available for public consumption. Just an idea.

Seconded, I did breifly consider uploading a pic of my c***....

...and on another sad techy note, you should remove the ability to browse the images directory....although it has just provided me with a good 15 minutes of entertainment

I...don't....know....what....you....mean...

[UncleDave]

yeah thanks!

The approval bit wouldn't be too good as most people would want their images uploaded instantly.

The image directory is a bit of a slip up..
Would CMODing it to 773 fo this?

Well, that's entirely up to you, personally I would feel a bit uneasy allowing anyone to upload images to my server, but I guess as long as you check regularly to make sure there is nothing really bad on there, then you should be fine.

It's been a long time since I done any linux/unix security type stuff, so can't say whether or not that would work. However there is likely to be a setting in one of your config files if you use apache or similar, that prevents directory browsing. It's a pretty common setting for web servers.....now about those jags........

Works fine - correctly ignores the ' charactor too

Your IP blocks don't stretch to hotels in Oslo!
