My primary > concern is safety of the Debian host. Here is one thought. I would write a small web form to be uploaded to through https. Everything can do http these days. But that would require some small amount of web development in order to put that in place. But once done then it is simple to use for the windows user since it is simply a web form upload and secure for your machine. The advanced user can use wget/curl to automate uploads. Here is another thought. I would have the ms-windows user use ftp to upload the files into a blind drop directory. I would put the entire thing into a chroot for extra security. Then add a checking task to ensure that warez isn't uploaded there, basically just check that only the expected files are there and report anything otherwise. Supporting this takes someone to keep an eye on it but it isn't difficult and is also quiet easy for others to use. Bob
