There's a step-by-step tutorial on my site at http://afpwebworks.com/Index.cfm?pid=111335
It doesn't do precisely what you want, but ought to get you through the tricky parts. Incidentally limiting the file size wont help you with the timeout problem, because if a file's too big, it's uploaded first, then rejected. Same with unwanted file types. So you'd still have the probem of large amounts of data being uploaded. Once they're uploaded, you might as well accept them and process them rather than reject them. The way to restrict the amount of data being uploaded on one page is to limit the number of images in the upload form. See the tutorial on my site, and you'll see how you can upload 5 files. I do it with CFCs these days but the code in the totorial works fine.
