A Different perspective?

Hi there,
I am currently developing a website for a sailing organisation.
I want to set up the site so they can upload their own results. We
intend using Sailwave to do this.
Obviously they have to use Sailwave as their race results package but
what do I have to do from a webmasters point of view to enable them to
upload results straight to their site??
Any help appreciated.

If you create a special FTP login on the website, the user can then upload
the results as HTML files directly out of Sailwave; if user and password is
remembered etc.

You would then need to srite a little PHP/ASP ditty to scan the FTP folder
for files and present them as a list of results. I would take a peek in
each and extract the Event name so that you can display something other than
the filename.

The results list web page then a self-maintaining.
