Best way to upload multiple files from a browser

Question

I\'m working on a web application. There is one place where the user can upload files with the HTTP protocol. There is a choice between the classic HTML file upload control

Answer 1

I've never used it with files of 2GB in size, but the YUI File Uploader worked pretty well on a previous project. You may also be interested in this jQuery Plugin.

That said, I still think the Java Applet is the way to go. I think you'll end up with less portability and UI issues than you expect and Drag/Drop works great. For the record, Box.net uses a Java Applet for their multi-file quick uploads.
