Greetings,


I was wondering if I could ask your opinion about something?


I have a really nice script that allows users to invite their friends. You can read more about it here:

With my current model, once contacts are received, they are uploaded to a member's server via FTP.


My other option would be to allow the user to input a message to send to the contact list and just send the emails directly through my website.


Which option do you think is better?


The first one in my opinion is harder to implement for the user. It allows them to collect email addresses however for future email marketing.


Sincerely,
Travis Walters

Most users today do NOT have a clue how to use FTP. If your goal is for non-technical people to use FTP, it will fail. Also, many corporate networks block the FTP port, making it even more challenging.
