I realise you said "free" (as in beer) but the following commercial offerings are also available. WebDAV which is also a viable solution as mentioned by others. Persits X-Upload http://www.aspupload.com/xupload.html - An Active-X (client side) addon which works with AspUpload (server side) to enhance file upload capabilities, including recursive subfolders. Due to it's active-x nature, it will only work in IE. Persits Xfile and Jfile http://www.safileup.com/saxfile.html http://www.safileup.com/sajfile.html - Similar to Xupload but available in an ActiveX or Java applet version. The Java version runs on a much wider variety of platforms, albeit some with minor "limitations". I have not used either product but have used both vendor's server side upload components. Hope this helps, Ben -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma.
