Hi
Can anyone answer this.

I have a client that needs a website, and what he wants is the ability to have his clients upload documents. These are simply scanned paper documents etc that they have filled out, and is asking instead of emailing can they simply log onto his site somewhere and upload those documents to the server, for him to get later.

Can this be done with wordpress.

Thanks in advance.

    Ya wordpress has this functionality and you can easily upload anything through wordpress to your server and later on you can collect it either from your server using ftp or can access the documents through your wordpress admin panel.
    Thanks.

      Thanks for the reply.

      I presume you are explaining, that they can upload as a user, like a limited dashboard style.

      I am not sure if my client is thinking that way.

      I am looking to see if it can be more done so like:

      My clients client goes to a page on the site and there is a form field that has upload to site. Not so much that they need to log into wordpress and do it from the dashboard.

      As you can see from this page there is an option to browse your computer and upload.

      I realize this is in aspx but I am wondering if similar can be done in wordpress.

      Thanx

      i am just asking if this can be done in wordpress. I thought there may of been a plugin or something that does this.

      If you have a solution I would love to hear more on what can be done.

      Or if you have an example of this on a demo site or something that would be good.

      I look forward to seeing something you have. There is no need to go writing anything, if it is something that is available online great.

      I dont want you too go to too much trouble as I have not confirmed to my client if this process can be done. It was a feature he asked if could be done.

      Anyway I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

      HI,

      If you become a war room member I am not sure if you still have to have certain number of posts. Easiest thing to do is to simply comment on posts and be helpful as you have been with me.

      Benefits of the war room........amazing. There is so much to learn and offers you will love. Some things are offered for free insyead of paying for.

      The war room is definitely worth the money. That is my own opinion.

      Regards

      It is only morning here just now, so i will now have a look at that script you sent me, and let you know how I go
