I know this is mighty off topic, but I am looking for any feedback that you monks may have about any of the different multi file upload java applets out there.
My predicament is that I need to offer multi file uploads to many users on a new web system I am developing. The end users are not technical at all and will be uploading anywhere from one to thirty files (10mib to 1gib each) at a time. I can't have them select each file separately and just add new file select buttons with plain old HTML forms. They also need more of an upload status than the normal slowbar/status bar on IE or netscape/moz. My requirements are:
Multiple file select/queueprogress barBrowser compatibility for IE5+, Netscape 6+, mozilla like, Opera, Safari 1.1+, IE Mac (so java vm requirement of < 1.3)able to submit to a perl CGI.pm script running on Solaris or Linux (no IIS asp junk)
Does anyone have any experience with any of the offerings out there that you would think would meet my requirements? Any good or bad feelings for any of the products out there? Any other radical design ideas ?
Some of the products I have looked at already are:
JUpload (requires java 1.4.1+ breaks on ie/mac)
J'Upload (does not seem to work very well at all on safari/ie-mac)
SA JFile (needs server side ASP / IIS junk)
As always thanks for your replies.
