Is there a Javascriptable FTP Upload Java / Flash Applet?

Question

To upload large files from an HTML page to an FTP server, I am looking for an applet to upload Java / Flash FTP.

I really like the dhtmlxVault method, but I need to upload it to an FTP server instead of uploading an HTTP file.

It would be very nice if the applet did not have its own GUI, but instead was fully scriptable using Javascript, so I can use HTML / CSS to make it appear.

I hope looked at Yahoo! YUI Uploader , because it requires Flash, but the documentation only mentions downloading HTTP and downloading FTP.

Answer 1

This is exactly what IntegralFTP is a Java applet wrapped in Javascript. The GUI is all implemented in Javascript, and so you can change it as you like.

It supports SFTP, FTP and FTPS.

You can use IntegralFTP from http://www.integralftp.com or purchase.

Answer 2

I tried ZUpload Java applet.

Pro's:

• The user interface works as simple as I could hope it would work.
• This is a Java applet with its own GUI, but I was able to implement some Javascript callbacks to update progress information in HTML. I could roll up the GUI even more.

Con's:

• If the download fails (when the FTP server reports that it is busy, try again), it considers that the download was successful and continues with the next file. I tried to catch exceptions, but could not do it due to the way j-ftp is used in the applet or in my own lack of knowledge.
• The project seems dead since 2003, so I do not expect any updates.

So, my conclusion is that it is not ready for use in a production environment. I still need a better solution.

Answer 3

Technically, any swing application will only work with minor changes if you have access to the code. If you are ready to offer an applet, perhaps you can even use java web start (even fewer changes are required).

How about this (open source seems to be)? http://jupload.sourceforge.net/applet-basic-picture.html
