I would like to provide people visiting my website the ability to upload image/music and other files from their computer to my server. I don't know much about coding and so I was wondering if there was a script I can use, like copy and paste/configure the codes.

I Google it and came up with results regarding PHP but I would like to know what others on here are using with Dreamweaver and what works best. Free will

Thanks.

What worked best for me was php/mysql server model. It is free and installation is relatively easy.
I suggest you download and setup a testing server on your local machine or LAN first.
Basically, all you need is Apache from www.apache.org/ and make sure that its php4 or php5 module is activated.
I f this is too much of a hassle for you, try to use the remote server as a testing server instead
All you need then is a html form with a file field to upload.
The mysql part is useful if you want to keep track who uploaded what because you can save these things in the database.
