Multiple File Upload

[Cirene]

Are there any good controls that you like out there that will allow a user
to multi-select files for upload (using SHIFT and CTRL to select in the
"Browse"?)

I have clients that might want to upload 1,000 files and some of them can be
rather HUGE, like a gig or so.

Also, will ASP.NET web applications blow up if they try this?

Thanks!

Quite likely. Have you considered giving them FTP access to somewhere?

How often do they need to do this, once? Buy a 1 Terrabyte External Drive
and have it delivered to them. Get them to copy on the files and have it
shipped back to you.

Good ideas but this will be done on a regular basis by people who sign up
for accounts to my website.

I wonder if ASP.NET will allow a creation of an FTP user account via code to
a specific directory????
