Speaking just for myself, I don't quite understand what your asking for.
Do you mean you are looking for an ftp program to upload images and files to a webserver?
...or
Are you looking for some sort of rotating ad program to display banner ads on a website/page?
...or
something else entirely?

Complete newbie! Was hoping someone would be able to upload an image and url on my site and then this would be able to loaded into script of another page. So that when the image is clicked on it would link to another webiste. Am l talking nonsense here? Or do you need some kinda' database system?

I still don't quite get what your wanting to do, I have broken this out roughly by function in an effort to jiggle my brain into some semblance of functionality:
This part can be done with a form.
What kind of script, and what is the function of the script? Is the page still under the same domain?
Linking the image to a url is easy enough, but how you do it may depend on what the script you mentioned above requires. It may be simple, standard html, (ex: <a href="http://www.domain.name/file.name"><img src="http://domain.name/image.name"></a> ),.but it could use php, javascript, etc. instead of or in addition to html.

Let's talk process flow first 
You'll first need to transfer the image file manually to your web server (or for most of us this means to the web space we've purchased from our Internet Service Provider). This is usually done via FTP, using a program like WS_FTP.
This could also be done using a form as suggested previously, but you'd want to password protect that page so others couldn't replace your image, and it's not usually done this way.
Place the image in a separate "images" folder to keep it separate from your other html files.
Once the image is on your server, then it's just a matter of placing a link on your web page using the html in the previous reply.
Does that help?

Hi there Zip,
So what you are wanting to do is, alow people to upload a banner, and put there web site in a input box..... click submit and it whould add that banner with the link onto your home page, or any other page for that matter. and the banners whould rotate when the page is refreshed? is this correct?
