Uploading large files help

Post by aggs »

Hi,

I have a website that uses PHP/MYSQL where users have their own individual accounts. Now, I would like users to be able to upload files to their own account area so that only the authorised user can see it. The files that will be uploaded by users will range from 50mb to 150mb. What is the best way ( in terms of reliability, speed, and security) to do this?

I am thinking of using JUpload with PHP to do this but I am not sure if it will work or if it is the best way.

Please help as I am really confused on how to properly implement this type of solution.

James.

I would use a third-party uploader, probably a java app. Most decent ones will at least have a progress bar, so the user knows how much has been uploaded, unlike a HTTP post, which just sits there until it's done.

In your experience, which one would be most appropriate?
