    Hi.

    To verify: secure upload/download means you want to have username/password to upload file, and username/password to download it? Or you mean something else?

      That is correct.
      I want to be able to have some one to login download a file and/or upload a file without using fileZilla or anything like that.

        I want to be able to have some one to login download a file and/or upload a file without using fileZilla or anything like that.
        I can suggest at least the following 2 options:

        1.
        Install some ready to use file management script. PHPfileNavigator for example. If your hosting provides Softaculous then check "Others" section -> PHPfileNavigator. You should be able to install it in few clicks.

        2.
        - create 2 password protected folders: "upload" and "download" (you can use .htaccess for password protection)
        - enable directory listing for "download" folder (add "Options +Indexes" to .htaccess file in that folder)
        - in "upload" folder create a small file upload script that will put files into "download"
        (google "php file upload script" and check the information found at "About" and "w3schools")
        That is very simple and quick solution. But keep in mind that you will probably need to delete the files as well. So you will have to add listing/file delete scripts.

    You can create a directory with the upload/download scripts and then password protect the directory so you can't run the script without providing the password!
