What's a good web file upload system?

[FreshPrince]

I've heard that IE(M$) upload engine is really slow...does anyone know of a better one?

Thinking about setting up a web based file upload system here.

thx,

that's not web based.

ftp is probably the most efficient transfer protocol around

html xfer is a lot slower

It is? Can you tell me what "html transfer" is? I'm pretty sure no such thing exists.

I like FTP Surfer for FTP

hehe, ok, I guess there's some misunderstanding...

I don't want an ftp client like cuteftp.

I want to be able to upload a file via a browser like IE or firefox.

Just to clarify

Yeah, and what are you looking for? The fastest uploading browser? They all use the same HTTP protocol.

I did, but I would like to evaluate several products, and that one is pricey

Does anyone know which engine pics.apartment808.com uses? It seems very fast and streamlined, which is what I'm looking for

Also, I'm looking for a more managed product that not only uploads, but has a backend scripting support that allows for secure ftp uploads. thx!

bumpy, still looking for an SSH solution that's fast, but secure.

thx!

Pics.apartment808.com just uses PHP (coded by dwell). The rest is up to you -- I'm not sure what you mean by "engine." You're using HTTP either way, and a browser of your choice. The speed isn't going to change much (if at all) between IE and Firefox uploading files to a PHP backend.

Where are you going to be uploading these files?

I run a little website for friends and family at my house. But I'd like to secure that transfer somehow. And I just really like pics.apartment808.com because it's clean and very fast!

First of all: what do you mean by secure?

You could run an HTTPS server if you wanted it to be secure -- or I suppose there are a number of other options. But I'm not sure what you mean by secure, and I'm not sure that you are, either. pics.bbzzdd.com (same as apartment808) still uses HTTP, so it's not any faster or more secure. HTTP is the same protocol (like notfred said) regardless of browser choice.

aren't all web based uploads the same?

i vote FTP
personally, i have my server as a network drive. makes it alot easier.
