I know you've looked at form submissions and cffile, so I am brainstorming alternate methods.
Could you create a frame on your submission page pointing to an ftp area on your site, and allow them to use the ftp handling built into most browsers? Then they could drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste the images into the window and let the os handle the move. Your app could then catch them and associate them with the proper form submission (by creating dynamic subfolder to go with each form submission) On 10/17/05, Larry Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >When it gets to be ridiculously large files, I tend to make them use > >email attachments to pass the file to my app, and use a little java > >routine to pull the file out of the mailbox and save it to disk. > > > >This has two benefits.
