[Sheflug] Questions about ftp scp, and uploading files in general

[Alan Dawson <aland [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about ways that allow users to upload files to their home 
directories.

I'd rather not use ftp, as it seems to be best used for anonymous downloads 
rather than authenticated uploading.  So I get to thinking of scp and putty suite 
for windows users.  

What port does scp use ? 

Are there any easy scripts out there to build web based secure uploads using 
https and php (say).

Any suggestions ?
