I want to develop a simple web-site with upload & download functionality. From what I’ve already read on the internet it seems that letting users upload/download files to/from your server may be really dangerous (I am aware of uploading to non-public folder, but still). Is there any web-site providing API for that purpose, or is there any way to ensure that the files uploaded to your server won’t blow up one day?!?
Note: I am programming in PHP.
As long you make sure they’re non-executable and don’t clogger up your storage or bandwidth you’ll be fine.
You may be able to use the Dropbox API with your site, but I think it’s overly complicated way to bring new problems while solving only some of your old ones.
