We recently got married and are thinking of being a bit cheaky and asking people to send their pictures to us if they wouldn't mind. Obviously the easy way of doing this would be to upload them to a website. I was thinking of setting up an FTP server and then getting people to upload to it but I think it might confuse some and a website front end might be better.
Requirements are:

1. Allow uploading of full resolution pictures.
2. Allow different users access rights (i.e. I don't want the people uploading their images to be able to delete other images)
3. A way of identifying what pictures were uploaded by who (perhaps seperate usernames or something)

Do any websites exist that will allow this as I haven't really got the time to make one myself.
I should have just left a laptop out with a card reader at the end but nevermind.

Thanks,
 
Should be fairly easy to find a script that will do it, as above. I don't personally know of one but if you need some webspace for it I'm happy to let you use mine,
 
Didnt know if photo bucket etc would support what I wanted so some webspace and a script/web interface might have to be done. I'll probably do my own so I can show it in a gallery as well. If anyone knows of any other scripts or webpages that will allow this then let me know as I wanted to avoid doing my own.

Thanks

This is a good idea.

I've set one up for my friends and family and they find it very easy to use. Just tell them to zip them and upload.

Very simple to implement as all the coding is done for you. Just make a new sub-folder on your website and upload the script. Then just use your website's Cpanel to password protect the sub-folder.

The great thing is they can use it any time, as its always online.
 
On another tangent perhaps flickr? They would have to sign up themselves but you could set up a group and and they could then add them. Only issue is I don't know how much you can upload as a standard user..

Having said that if you can find an easy to impliment script that may be the easier option...
 
Well I've not got round to it yet. Another option I was thinking of was a NAS connected at home with a web interface. Not sure if something like the buffalo link would do this, you can upload remotely but not sure about setting up a number of users with access. This sort of kills two birds with one stone as I wanted a NAS for home use as well.
Anyone used web access NAS?
