what's a good php/cgi/asp/etc upload script?
 

I'm looking for a good upload script for my website, but the internet is saturated with tons of them, both good and bad. Can someone please direct me to a decent one. I would preferably not like a link to one of those script sites that host a a bunch of scripts because I've been there and there are a lot of script, but I don't know which are good or bad, and I don't have much time to test them all out.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance!

something free preferably and something with a progress bar would be nice, but not necessary.

- something free preferably
- a progress bar would be nice, but not necessary
- ability to add comments to uploaded files, but this is also not necessary.
- must be secure!
- be able to handle large files

what do you need it for? you're better off getting a really light weight script and customizing it how you need, or just making one from scratch.

what scripts have you tried?

making one from scratch is most likely not an option. I need it for a whole client section of my website. If I have to pay for something that is worth the money, then I can shell out the money. I want to make a clients section on my website so my clients can log in and view, upload and download their own files. So essentially, each login/client would have their own folder with their own files that they can manage. Maybe have the ability to sort by job. I know things like this exist, I just don't know where. haha

EDIT: So far I've tried a few CGI scripts that seem very promising.
- XUpload - seems to work great
- PSUpload -works alright, but there is no progress bar so user will be lost when uploading large files
- FileChucker - can't seem to get it to fully work

... although these are just upload scripts... far from a whole client manager.

I can't remember where I found it but it is really simple. I guess it has a link to a website called tailoredweb but that site is no longer a site so if you want the script you would have to take a copy of the one I have. I don't know if it is available online anymore or not except for what I have.

I guess this one is probably to basic for what you are looking for after re-reading your posts.

yeah. unfortunately it is a bit simple. Plus, XUpload is much nicer and more efficient. You should check it out if you need a new upload script. Just search google for "xupload".

Anyhow, I'm still looking for a good upload script, if a better one exists (which I'm sure it does), but I'm mainly looking for some kind of client management system, that will manage clients file uploads. That is my main goal.

My main goal is to have some sort of client management system (not content management system). Something that will allow my clients to log into a control panel-type interface and give them the option to upload files pertaining to specific jobs. I know there are systems out there, I just don't know where to find them. I am willing to create the script from the ground up, although I don't have a lot of spare time on my hands and need to get something up ASAP for my clients. I don't mind paying either if the system is worth the price.

You've gotten some good answers. If they are unsuitable, I would suggest that you begin writing some code, or post in the Job Offers forum. Burying your head in the sand because perfection (to your standards) has not arisen is somewhat puerile.

My first recommendation is the take one of the scripts you have found that is pretty close to what you want and make it what you want. Or start from the ground up, I don't know of many other scripts other then the ones that have been mentioned here. Sorry

yeah, I figured that was my only option for now. Thanks anyways (and no need to be rude about it, DaWei). It's not about perfection, it's more frustration resulting from my bad memory. I've come across multiple systems that accomplish what I want in the past, I just can't, for the life of me, find them again! ugh.

I better get to coding though. I do really like the XUpload and FileChucker scripts, which are both free, and both offer pay-for versions of the script with more features. Even the free versions are fairly feature-rich and functional.

I'm also searching SourceForge for projects like what I'm looking for and have come across a couple that are close. I'll keep this topic updated if I find anything.

thanks for the suggestions.
