Is there a way to allow a website user to upload a database file to a
website?

I know I can create pages to upload other files to the site using FP, but
I have need to allow a client to copy their database file up to a website
on a regular basis. Would it have to be uploaded then moved over??

Right now they send me the database after any changes and I have to use
Publish to get it to the live server. Please does someone know a way I can
be removed from the update loop.

I believe there would be security problems involved in giving users direct
access to a database directory.

Have you considered creating a set of admin pages (using ASP, etc.) so that
they could update the database that way? That's how it's typically done.
