How to upload a file to my web server

I want to enable my web server to receive files. How can I do that?

Here's why I want to do this: I'm a consultant working away from my own
offices at a client site. I am creating installation files at my client's
location that are too big (about 50 megabytes) to email. I need to make
these files available to other programmers who are off site from the client.
Because of company restrictions, I can't make a web site on a client's
machine and then let the remote programmers take the installation files
directly. However, I do have my own corporate web site and was thinking that
if I could get the installation files to my own web site then it would be a
snap for the remote programmers to download the installation files from me.

The best way to handle files of this size is to create a subweb in
your website, and move your installation files into the subweb. Being
in a subweb, the files can be FTPed to the server without affecting
the extensions in any other subweb, or in the root web. Do not open
this subweb in Front|Page - FTP may corrupt the extensions here.
Place a page in the subweb with links to the files. Note that some
firewalls.anti-virus apps. may prevent the download of .exe files, so
placing them in .zip files may be necessary.

Thank you, that was essentially what I did but that was intended only as a
stop gap measure. The problem is, my connection from my FrontPage client to
my own company's web server is through a cell phone modem. Transferring a
50 megabyte file via cell phone modem is somewhat time consuming. What I
want to do is to transfer from a client company computer across their own
internet connections to my own company's web server. I was hoping for some
sort of upload technique that didn't involve updating a sub web from my
FrontPage client across its very slow cell modem connection to the internet.

So - how do I set up my web page to catch a file upload from an external
computer across the internet?

My ISP has an upload component for an http upload (AspUpload). Took 'em about 15 minutes
to configure it for me, amd it took me maybe 45 minutes to write a page, and get it
working. Check with yours. Check with your company admin to see if they will buy an upload
component. If not have em set you up a write enabled directory, then Google for upload
scripts. How do you access the internet from a client's shop now? If they let you hook up
a laptop, you're home free, but I'd bet not. GL!

You crate the subweb in FrontPage, using your cellphone.
The files can be uploaded using FTP from any location that has FTP
access to the internet. The FTP client involved will need the logon
details for your FTP server.

Thank you, that's more or less what I'd like to do but, unfortunately, I am
my own ISP. If I don't handle it on my own, it won't get done.

That sounds promising. Can you give me a little more in the way of detail?
I'm a programmer, not a system administrator, so I'm not terribly well
informed on how to do these things.

I've already created a sub web and this is available to the external
clients. How would I go about setting up incoming FTP on my W2k3 server?
