A visitor uploading a file to a database on the server is simple? Have you
tried to build this part yet?

You would need to write a custom ASP application/script to do this. However,
I can't tell you any more than that at present, due to lack of information.
I need to know first, are you really storing these files in a database? If
so, why? It is much simpler (truly) to store the file in the file system,
and the file name in the database. Second, you haven't specified what KIND
of files the users are uploading. How you "display the files" depends upon
what kind of files they are.

In answer to your final question, certainly, it is possible. If you provide
us with more detailed information, we can help you to know what needs to be
done. Whether or not you have the programming skills to do it is another
question which I can't answer.
