  Has anyone implemented an FTP based upload system for a site before. I need to be able to upload 200-300 MB files for a print shop. The http / php route isn't going to cut it. I thought about the instructions to install Fireftp for Firefox and provide the login details but I am trying to find a more seamless method.

  I have been told Java applets are a good option. Just curious if anyone has some advice or can point me in the right direction.

  Most people use their own FTP software, won't cut it?

  can you not just upload it to the site and send them a link to download it?

  By won't cut it I mean: using either html or flash based forms with php upload scripts. From what I understand php uses the http protocal which tends to time out or choke with large files.

  Some people use their own ftp software but from my experience the majority of people can't figure that out. Too confusing for them.

  I have worked with a lot of printers who have the ability to upload large design files right from their site without cracking open an FTP client.
