What is the best multiple file JavaScript / Flash file uploader?

Question

Specifically, I\'m looking for a client-side, JavaScript and / or Flash based multiple file uploader. The closest thing I\'ve found is FancyUpload. Anyone have experience

Answer 1

I've used FancyUpload plenty of times and it's absolutely fantastic. The only problem (but this is true for most flash uploaders, I guess) is session handling - if you're using sessions you're going to have to pass along the session ID to the flash file and back again.

digitarald (the author) has a new version of FancyUpload in beta now that works with Flash 10 (something a lot of the other uploaders don't). According to him it should be very simple to upgrade from FancyUpload2 to the new version, once it's released.

Answer 2

It looks like a new entry into this field is 'jQuery file upload':

Agile Uploader now supports multiple files as of version 2.0. http://www.shift8creative.com/projects/agile-uploader/index.html

Here's a direct link to a demo: http://www.shift8creative.com/agile-uploader/examples/all_files.php

It allows all types of files and can actually resize images before upload to help save on bandwidth costs and server processing power.

Answer 4

Plupload seems to be interesting...

Answer 5

Uploadify is a jQuery / Flash hybrid (if you don't feel like adding in YUI just to handle uploads).

Yahoo's YUI Uploader is your friend.
