I too am entering stage left on this type of endeavor and am looking at AppletFile at www.infomentum.com (both upload and download between web-server and local drives. AppletFile works with both ASP and CFM pages. With AppletFile, you can even have progress bars displayed during the file transmission process which is good since some of the files could be quite large. Further, as I understand, files to be transmitted can be compressed before sending and then uncompressed at the other end (a saving of about 50 pct or so in the number of bytes that have to be transmitted).
