Due to my work at eventpix, I have spent 100s of hours on upload work,
and research and coding. Witango doesn't handle the upload. The
webserver handles the upload from the form, and when the upload is
complete, the webserver hands the file/data in a wrapper over to
witango. So the witango server doesn't even see the uploaded file,
until the upload is complete. So if you are seeing a slow down, it is
your webserver that is slowing things down.
What web server are you using, IIS? And which version?

Using the witango file action to upload a 10 mg file seems to take a
lot of witango resources and slows down displaying of other witango
pages on the server. Looking for a one-step work around.
Considering having a webpage to collect file info and have the user
use an ftp client to upload the file, a two step process.

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: witango ftp upload form
do you mean, witango sends it to ftp server, before saving it on
YOUR server first?
If that is what you mean, its not possible, because of the way
witango works with your webserver. The file is completely
transferred to the webserver before being handed over to witango.
We have written special upload handlers, to allow progress bar
uploading, and throttling, and other cool features. We do this by
handling the upload byte by byte, this is NOT possible in witango.
It is also not possible in PHP. It is possible with some very low
level .net coding, and it is also possible by creating a CGI script,
like in perl or something.
If you submit your upload to a perl cgi, for example, you could
write it to accept data in memory and at the same time connect and
send to an FTP server. This would be very troublesome, and I
wouldn't recommend it, unless you were sure of 100% uptime and great
bandwidth up to the ftp server from the witango server. You would
basically be holding/caching the http upload to cgi in memory as you
pull from the memory to the ftp server.
I would think you are better off, investing in larger more reliable
network storage on your server side, accept the entire upload, and
then ftp up to wherever and delete.

Do you mean, the local machine, as in the user hitting the web page,
or the local machine, as in the web server machine, which may be
different from the witango server?

Hi,
Has anyone created or found a way to use witango to ftp a file from
the local machine and not the server that witango is setting on? I
can successfully ftp from the witango server to the ftp site with
the external action but witango can’t find the file on my
workstation. I have found php pages on the web that I may have to
use.
Of course, I could wait for Witango 6 with its built-in ftp upload.
