File Upload components?

[clintonG]

I've been looking around to learn more about file uploading and this
component [1] makes note of Mac and Unix support and so on. It also sells
for $149 and up!

What's the big deal here? Spoofygoo buy-me talk? Or are there really issues
accessing the Mac or *nix file system to get a file to upload to the server?

Have you looked at the WebClient component? Its in the framework, and
is free. It will upload using a HTTP PUT or POST.

Hope this helps.

Not yet Nichols but thank you for bring it to my attention... still, the
question looms "is there something 'special' to consider with regard
touplodaing binary files to a PC from a Mac or Unix platform?" the seller of
the component infers that there is something to be concerned about.

With some of the 2.0 quality issues I've been learning about I'd just like
to know what may have been left out of the box so to speak...

If there was, it would be a browser issue. Honestly, I've never heard
of something like that.

I haven't thought so myself but the component for sale mentions such issues
as it they were important. Thanks for your comment.
