What is the best way to upload multiple files? 1

[Aptitude]

I'm developing a photo sharing application and I have a requirement to allow users to upload multiple files to a database (50-100 at a time). The target market is a bit specialist and has a high proportion of Mac users so I'm looking for a cross platform solution so ActiveX is a non-starter. I also need this to be as painless as possible and appear like it is part of the web site, so FTP looks unsuitable too.

Anyone got any ideas? I have time and a budget so would rather have a expensive, complicated solution that looks right than a quick cheap hack.

You'll need a 3rd party control to do this. The standard HTML control and the 2.0 FileUploadControl will only upload one file at a time.

Do you have one you recommend?

The one I use is an activeX control

this one is pretty easy to implement, has many versions and platforms available.

Adamroof,

That looks like just what I was looking for. And only $39 too.

I never thought to use Flash!
