I'd like to be able to supply people with a URL where they could upload small files to without being able to see the contents of the destination source. Think the Box, or Dropbox, but where users are anonymous,they cannot see the content of the shared folders, and it is free.
Unfortunately, I don't have a webhost to use or I would have just given restricted FTP access. Any suggestions?
Interesting... so you want each individual user to be able to upload to his or her own account but not be able to see the accounts of anyone else?
Are you actually requiring that the user who uploads the file cannot have any access to that same file that he or she uploaded after the upload is completed?
If you have access to a Linux box, it's pretty straightforward to setup very limited accounts for upload and download using SSH (Windows users can use the WinSCP client or similar programs BTW). In the sshd config you can setup directories for each user where the user is locked to that directory. Additionally, you can do a setup where the users only get file-transfer access (i.e. they can't login with a shell and run programs, only upload/download files from their own personal directory).
Would this satisfy your requirements? If it sounds good, I can get you more details on how to do the setup.
