Hi Cameron, Thanks for your comment and everyone else for their suggestions. I shall evaluate all these ideas before deciding up on an appropriate solution for my needs. However, please answer one more question, if at all possible: How about using Amazon S3 (https://s3.amazonaws.com/) for

Basically if you want people to upload large quantities of data, HTTP is NOT your friend. You can use cyberduck to upload to S3 Buckets, I do it all the time. The thing is that people will need their own Keys and SecretID's as I am sure you don't want to share yours? (I think you can make it

is this sharing of files a regular occurrence or a one time thing ? either way you don't need to reinvent this wheel If you regularly do this then a much better solution would be something like SugarSync, we have been using this for ages and it works great, and best of all it is FREE, they do

Could you not just upload the files using sftp and require an ssh connection to download them? That is really what ftp was designed for. HTTP was never really designed to transmit that large of a file anyway. This would accomplish both of your requirements, in that you would be uploading them

Hi Russ, Thanks for your suggestions. The secure file transfer requirement is a regular occurrence for multiple users. I had a look at the SugarSync file upload service and it is only free for up to 5GB for a single user. I have asked the vendor to supply more information for my requirement.

Kamru, SFTP is simply ftp over an SSH connection. So what you need is to have SSH running on your ftp server. If you are using Windows, I like ServU-FTP server as it has an SSH server built into it. It is a commercial product though and is Windows only. If you want to go free, OpenSSH is a free
