    EE 1.7 on Apache.

    I’m trying to create a secure area where members can upload documents to location on the server and then show those uploads to the members and make it available for download. 

    Here is my solution so far:

    1.  Created a member group called “Sales”
    2.  Created a Template Group called “Sales Site” and make it only accessible by members in group “Sales”
    3.  I followed the instructions on this Link - http://www.brandonballentine.com/index.php/blog/comments/Secure_Downloads_in_Expression_Engine to allow secure downloads
    4.  Use the file extension tags to display my files

    My last issue is to create an upload form, which I haven’t found any documentation on that or an example on how to do that.  Can someone point me to a post that has the upload form to complete my solution?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Niraj,

    There are a good few FIle Uplaod add-ons on devot-ee.com

    Most of them you need to have the SAEF in place as they are uploaders for an entry itself.

    Let us know if anything there helps
