How do I upload a file to an FTP site from my webpage?

There are three possible approaches to this problem:
1.) If the FTP server is on your domain or webserver, simple upload the 
file via a form and use the copy command to move it where you want it.  
There are security issues invoved with doing this.
2.) Write a batch-like script to upload files to your ftp site using 
the sockets functionality inside of PHP3/4 (source file received via 
form post)  This will take you some time to do, but it can be done.
3.) Use one of the million or so CGI-FTP applications available to 
upload the file for you (retrieve the file from a form).
