Here's my dilemma:

I collect a list of file paths to images from a file
that a user uploads to my site.  This could be a very,
very long list of images.  The user then wants to
upload them to my server...without having to manually
click submit a bunch of times, and I want them to
upload them without killing bandwidth/my server.  

My initial thought was to present the user with a list
of files, have them populate form fields, and upload
them.  However, this is a lot of work and I'm dealing
mostly with old people.  

My latest thought is to build a windows program that
the user can download which will talk to our server,
get the list of images, and start uploading the images
to the server.  

Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone tell me a better way to do this?  I
tried auto-populating form fields, as this is part of
the w3c spec, but the only browser to support this is
opera (and understandibly so).  I've also thought
about doing a java applet...but there are other
complications that come with this.  It might still be
a possibility though.

2. Does someone know another student who would be
capable of creating an application like this for me? 
Obviously there would be money involved.

Thanks,
John
