   Please reconsider.

A reasonable thing to do is to have a world-writable directory
separate and off on its own (like "incoming"), which is not
read-permitted by anyone.  Sites like e.g. atari.archive.umich.edu set
up something like this to allow anonymous submissions but to avoid
having their site be a vector for malicious doings or pirated software.

An anonymous dark drop-box only allows you to fetch things if you know
the name already.
