[cfaussie] RE: Uploading large files

[Aaron DC]

Is this something you have done? ie the application is a project tracking/management system with a public and a private documents section. If a file is uploaded then CF is in control so to speak, and saving the document against a project is a straightforward task. Retrieving the document and displaying it as part of a project are also simple tasks. Saving the document as a private/public one is easy, as is moving documents between the two categories. Once we step outside the CFML realm (eg using FTP), the process for linking documents to projects, nominating destination directories, indicating private or public status on the document are all things that need to happen. And we are not necessarily dealing with tech-savvy or computer literate people, so as simple a process as possible is preferable. The majority would not have a clue what "FTP" is, for example. I have considered developing a purpose-built (desktop) application with FTP built in, that will do all the project linking, directory selection etc etc transparent to the user. This would allow me to do resume uploads etc also and make it all quite functional. This application would have a browser built-in (IE COM), so they could use it for all system access. I would appreciate a little more information on your proposed solution. My preference would be a soution through CFML/browser.

The connection between sites is not always the best in terms of speed. I find the page times out regardless of the requesttimeout setting, these files are videos and presentation files/pps/pdf etc.   Has anyone had experience in solutions for this? They are using bog-standadrd IIS/IE.   Your help would be greatly appreciated Aaron Atomic Software http://www.atomic-software.com.au   phone: +61 409 430 231 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
