DesignFTP is a new site that allows you to easily, very easily, embed code on a page which will allow your users to upload large files to a folder on your site using FTP credentials.
Once you provide the service with your FTP host, username and password (yet another trust issue presented in the Web 2.0 world), you’re presented with one line of HTML which you can then embed on any page you’d like.
That code, once processed, displays a quick and easy upload feature with which a user can select multiple files for upload.
You not only have the option of being notified by E-mail when an upload occurs but, after publishing the upload script to your site, you can then begin tracking upload statistics via the DesignFTP control panel as shown below.
Overall, it’s a great tool for those with no experience in scripting their own upload elements or even little knowledge in seeking out and implementing already-existing PHP/ASP/etc. upload scripts.
It’s an invite-only beta right now but we got our invitation in about 24 hours so you may not have to wait too long before seeing yours.
