In the end I allowed the files to be transferred over FTP (with the same username/password that they logged in via the web interface), but also included a Java applet in the web interface as well so that it appeared to allow the upload as normal, but behind the scenes it was all FTP. HTTP isn't great for large uploads, but a protocol like FTP is perfectly suited for it. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
