I have a photographic web-site and would like to set up an FTP programme to enable clients to transfer large photograpic files (30MB TIFF) maybe upto 15 at a time.

I have no idea how to go about setting this up, any help please.

Web based ftp? or ... running a ftp server? Do you run the server?
 
it would proberly be best to set up an email which big storage (200MB or sommin). If u cant get a hold of one, i can hook you up. (free)
 
sounds easy.

what OS is the webserver?

dont be using email to move around files ;\
 
wait...nvm. you say you dont run the webserver :\.

how about ask your admin to set up a ftpd perhaps?.
 
Yea you can transfer very large files with a yahoo mailbox. If you want direct upload to your server we need more info on the server. There are many cgi routines for free and for money which allow an interface to easliy upload files to a photo routine or just store the images on the server. If you want direct ftp to your server then you need a server which supports user ftp. sadly you will have to give your password to all your clients for login and hope they don't mess with your site. Unless your server will allow you two ftp logins to the same account.
I would just have clients send me images via e-mail its much safer. Plus yahoo will scan all your images for virus free.
