an upload directory under the ftp-root with anonymous access, and give the
dir a unique id.
Launch it in with a ftp:// link in a new window -- for clueless users this
will look very similar to an File Explorer window, so if they know how to
copy files they should be able to do it here. (you can also give a unique
user/pass to the session and use that in the link ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dir
Only allow upload for a limited window to that directory. Perhaps let the
user click a button from the main window when the upload is done, and then
you process the images.

| Just checked I was able to upload 50mb compressed zip. However, doing

| jrun.exe will relinquish this memory, hold onto it for reallocation of

| Maybe it won't work for you on this job, but CF has a way to
| handle this
| in every respect except the sheer size of the job::
|
| Use CFFILE as usual and only accept the MIME type
| application/x-zip-compressed.
|
| You could then use Ben Forta's CFX_Zip to do the unzipping,
| and take the
| resulting file list (if cfx_zip doesn't give it to you, use
| cfdirectory)
| and use that to build up your post-upload description form, db entries
| etc. etc.
|
| Using CFFILE limits you to about 4mb of upload due to an IIS
| bug. I've
| gotten away with 5.6 mb, but I wouldn't bet on that being anything you
| can rely on.
|
| CFFTP could be used instead, I suppose. Never really needed to do BIG
| uploads with CF.
