Downloadable files

Hey team,
I would like to create a page where logged in users can download files such as PDF's, Images and Documents. I know there are many plugins out there that can do this, but I would rather set up a page to do this without the use of plugins.
Is it also possible for me to create a link or button which allows the user to upload files from the front end page?
Again, I know there there are plugins to do this, but would rather a more lightweight solution.
Thanks
Hi,
Is it also possible for me to create a link or button which allows the user to upload files from the front end page?
It is definitely possible even w/ just the default Contact form 7.
But it'll need site customization as it'll require you to setup a table on the database and custom code that will handle the data received from the upload file form you've created.
Here's an example code: http://chamankumar.co.uk/blog/uncategorized/contact-form-7-add-uploaded-file-to-media-attach-to-custom-post
Alternatively, it may be better to just let a plugin do all the work if in case you find code snippets intimidating. :)
Cool, might stick to a plugin. Cheers
Good choice.
Cheers. :)
