Some have even used FTP to allow collegues to upload information to Purdue hosts.
Some users find it difficult to use.
ECN's HTTP servers can be used to download and upload data. All a user needs is a URL and a suitable Web browser. Any ECN user can immediately make data available through the HTTP server with trivial effort. Allowing uploads is a little more difficult, but still possible. If you already have a directory of data available through FTP, you can make it available through HTTP by making a symbolic link to the directory in your public-web directory.
