Uploading files via browser-based GUI

http ftp uploading browser-based

[afroken]

Hello all,

I have a client who wants to provide a pass worded browser based file upload service via their website.

I've noted some scripts out there at say they can manage the job ezUpload Pro or WebAsyst Document Depot.

The client has suggested that most files will be between 20 - 80MB. But they will also get 2-3 files a week that will be around 100MB - 400MB.

I am just worried that if a client tries to upload a very large file via the http service provided by this PHP script, it could either crash or effect the website.

Obviously the hosting angle will be covered for bandwidth and space. But minus this, can anyone suggest either other scripts or better outline any pit falls that I have missed.

Even if your server can handle a large upload like that, I'd be gutted to find it didn't auto-resume if there was an interruption. Personally if a customer asks for this size of file upload, give them ftp access to a subfolder of the site.

Hi,

What you say is true but the my client and their clients have a hgh proportion of Mac users. when you say ftp acces to sub folder. do you mean via the browser of a program?
