I'm inclined to agree here. Another benefit of FTP would be that you wouldn't have the overhead of CFMX's temporary file sorage, so it would help speed up disk access times. In the past, I've used Pure_FTPd (www.pureftpd.org) for a website-wizard application. It was nice because it has a ton of features that are useful for ensuring the system doesn't get overloaded. It also has an "uploadscript" function which I used to check incoming files for viruses, etc. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!
Too many customers is a wonderful problem to have. =) Let us know how it works out!
