				| When it comes to uploading and downloading files, using scripts are just a waste of your time. Too many problems arise, and too many people can't/don't know how to work them. 
 If you want to transfer files, use an FTP (file transfer) server. My recommendations:
 
 BulletProof FTP: www.bpftpserver.com
 GuildFTPd: www.guildftpd.com
