Here's what (I guess) you'd need
1) cgi script to handle the upload of .dci files from a PC - this should,
ideally save the .dci file, available for PC download, and also convert the
.dci into a .vmi/vms pair available for DC download
2) cgi script to handle the upload of data from a DC - this should convert
the data into .dci and .vmi/vms
If you're webserver supports compiled C programs as cgi, then you could
modify my vmux program to do the file conversion [source @
http://vmudev.dcemulation.com/ ] - that can convert .dci <-> .vmi/.vms
However, Loren Peace (creator of Booyaka, and the PSO image snapshot
converter) has already got working scripts for doing all of this. Perhaps
he might be willing to give you copies of his code. Are you still out there
Loren?

I just found an old post from Loren to a different list, so I'll reproduce
the info he game there:

I can't comment about dreamkey, but here's the deal for planetweb:
first your web page needs a form like this
<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE="VMFILE" NAME="VMUDATA" VALUE="None">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>
The value you will get for the VMUDATA parameter is a line of attributes
followed by 2 line breaks and then the data in a shifted base64 encode.
The attributes look like this
filename=BOOYAKA.LOG &fs=1536&bl=3&tp=0&fl=0&of=0&tm=200006301201345
filename is obviouse, fs is file size in bytes, tm is the date on the
file in year(4)month(2)day(2)hour(2)minute(2)second(2)dayofweek(1) format,
bl is the number of VMU pages used; tp,fl,of have been zero for me so
far, so I'm not sure about them.
The rest of the upload is the base64 encoded file, first you must remap
the data sent to their proper base64 values, attached is a perl hash that
maps the letter used by PlanetWeb to the real one used in base64. (If
anyone doesn't know perl here's how to read the hash so you can use it,
left letter is what appears in the upload, it should be replaced by the
letter to the right of the arrow. ) Once you have remapped the data
simple base64 decode it and you have you uploaded save.
For any perl people I have also included a sample upload.cgi that will
upload files and place them in three parts in /tmp
<file-name>
<file-name>.ATTR
<file-name>.ORIG
where file-name is the filename attribute, .ORIG in the non-converted
base64 and .ATTR in the attribute line.
Let me know if I need to clarify anything better.
