+Tool for Quickly Handling File Uploads
+This project is designed to facilitate the quick handling of file uploads in situations where there is only a default Apache-PHP installation with a 2MB upload limit.
+
+Installation
+
+To install this tool, follow the steps below:
+
+Create a file called .uploadsecret with some secret password inside, in the same directory as the project files.
+
+Ensure that your web server is configured to block opening files that start with a dot. This is important to keep your password secure.
+
+Ensure that the upload directory has the proper permissions and is allowing file creation.
+
+Once you have completed these steps, you should be ready to use this tool to handle your file uploads quickly and efficiently.
+
+Open https://yourhost.com/upload.php?password=secretpassword to retrieve uploader shell script
