At the VPRO we also use NFS/scp etc. to copy the files.

hmm if files get big http multi-part post is nog really a viable solution
it requires a lot of memory on the client and the server and at least doubles the required network trafic (due to base encoding)
I think ftp / sftp / scp and webdav are more apropirate to do this
We made a simple wizards in which the name/title/etc. of the audio can be given. The wizards tells what the filename should be of the audio that is going to be uploaded (the filename is an object number). It this way MMBase can relate the uploaded file with an audiopart (audiofragment) within MMBase.
