File Upload - Easy File Uploads

Disclaimer: I’m sure this works on glitch, skip the sudo chown step.

Basic File Upload

A simple file upload system in PHP based off of the W3schools PHP file upload.

Why this file upload system is better:

  • You can upload files with the same name.
  • It is password protected.
  • It creates a new directory everytime a file is uploaded.
  • The file is shown and linked once it is uploaded.

Getting Started

For this to work, you should be running the Apache Web Sever.


Add this to your .htaccess file to prevent people from viewing uploads.

Options -Indexes

Make sure write privlages are not restricted to just the root user.

sudo chown username folder

Enter the uploads.php file and change the $password variable to what you want to password to be (leave it blank if you want public uploads).


Thats it! Have fun and make sure to keep the password a secret!
