It is only a suggestion!
Many schools use proxy server, blocking the doors and antivirus, which has just blocking, most of the time, when I Scratch software to upload projects.
A site for uploading files / projects would be an efficient way, without circumvent the security system of school ...
See the example:

profjr: hey, thanks for the screenshot of your design! I wish everyone would make suggestions with a screenshot :-) I wonder what other people think about it...
We will review the idea with the rest of the team. Thanks!

Would an "upload" button on the web page help circumvent security problems?
Perhaps, if the security was set to allow uploading to web sites, but I suspect that a lot of school sites block that if they are blocking the scratch "share!" upload.
The only school site I have access to has pretty strict filtering and firewall protection, but allowed Scratch "share!" uploads with no requests made to the system administrator, so I have no way of checking whether security settings that block "share!" would allow the upload.
Still, the idea of an upload button is good, in that one can then do uploads (say off a flash drive) from a machine that doesn't have Scratch installed. This would allow someone who's machine is not on the internet to carry the .sb files to an internet cafe or library to do uploads. (Around here, almost every cafe and half the laundromats have free internet wireless access, and several of the cafes also rent computer time.)

Sorry, we do not speak fluent English, which is why translation tool to use google.
The goal is not to circumvent security problems, the problem is that my students not to upload projects through computers at the school, or make a class interesting, but the upload of the project they do at home, but not all succeed. At school would be easier because it would have the help of the teacher.
We tried everything to resolve this problem, along with the heads of the network at the school, however, have not been successful. The port 80 you speak Scratch be used by the software is released, the port 8080 also. Still, not working, we could not publish through the Scratch software.
