Hackers are the least of my worries (they can still stream a huge file to my upload method if they want), I'm using SWFUpload in both intranet and public applications because you always have users that are not as smart as they pretend to be. > I've never done it but I wouldn't think starting to use an uploader > such as http://swfupload.mammon.se/ would take too much time. I've implemented it in my solution in less than 30 minutes, the documentation couldn't be simpler. I've tried some other options too (respond_to_parent amongst others) and they took a lot longer to implement and didn't yield the result I was looking for. I'm using Flash in two areas, both scripts gracefully degrade if Flash or JS is not enabled: SWFUpload and sIFR.
