Hi Larry and thanks for your response:
Let me explain a little more. As I said before we want to
develop a module for upload files using FTP. What this
module do? (in theory).
1) Upload a file using via HTML form
2) Put the file inside a temporary folder
3) When the admin login then they can check using
"Directory" functions the content of the file
4) Even to the upload the file data as, for example, Title,
Author, Date, File Path and some other stuff will be store
in a temporary DB table
5) The admin agree with the documentation file or it can
delete.
Understand now?
What I'm not know: How to develop the module? From where
start? How I can build the menu and the admin access?
Anyway if this is not the correct list, then what is the
subscribe address for the right list?
Thanks again
PS: Soury for my poor English

Drupal can't track files uploaded via FTP independently of
Drupal. It has no way of knowing they're there. However,
if web-based upload is OK for you, then there are, I
believe, at least 2 "files as nodes" modules
availabe in contrib. Simply set the default publishing
state for the node to "in moderation queue, not
published", and then you can use the usual node
moderation options to allow admins to approve or delete
pending nodes.
This is more of a support question than a devel question,
though, so I'm copying this over to the support list.
Please reply there. Thanks.
