The standard upload control of HTML only allows you to pick one file. You can do
multiple uploads using multiple file picker controls on the page, but it's not
very easy to manage for the end user. The solution is to use a control client
side to enable multiple file selection and upload. You can achieve this by
using an ActiveX control or a Java applet.
While ActiveX controls are fully integrated in windows, only
the Java Applets are available on all platforms. This is why
the best choice you could make is to select a cross browser system that will
ensure that all your users will be able to use your applications.
The advantages of Java Applets over ActiveX
Java
is much more secure than ActiveX technology.
Java
is compatible with a non-Windows platform, not ActiveX.
Java
is compatible with most browsers including Firefox while ActiveX
is only compatible with Internet Explorer.
Multi-platform
Our applet is multi-platform and works with Windows and Macintosh and of course Internet Explorer, Firefox and more...
Custom headers
You can easily configure custom HTTP headers that will be retrieved on the upload page for tracking purpose.
Fully customizable
The appearance of the applet is fully customizable.
Secured (signed)
The applet is signed with the latest code signing certificate.
Upload files & directories
You can both upload files and/or directories.
File extension filtering
Depending on the files you want to receive through the applet you can have multiple file filters based on the extension.
Wide range of limitation
To match your requirements, the applet can be limited to upload a certain amount of bytes (total or per file), file number and more.
