since my partner and me had several requests for a flash uploading application, we decided to make one simple yet dependable solution.
the result is a basic but feature packed and user friendly uploader called
slingshot | uploader
we are going to develop a premium version with many more features but our goal here was to develop a "usable" uploader since most of them just don't work.
our main mission -> click upload and go to sleep! let slingshot do the rest.
FEATURES:
User-friendly multi file uploader
Easy to use Gui
Queue and upload file overview
Activity log
Real time status display
Secure uploading with error detection
File verification
Server timeout protection
I/O error detection
Http error detection
Retry on error
Easy installation
Installs in minutes
Adaptable to existing systems
Configure uploader settings in php file:
Application settings
- Allowed file types
- Maximum file size
Error detection
- Time to wait before server is marked inactive
- Number of retries if server becomes inactive
- Number of retries if an error occurs
- Stop upload or skip file if server inactivity is consistent
- Stop upload or skip file if errors are consistent
- Verify file after upload
i just wanted to post a link in case if any other webmasters need tools like this
please feel free to to test it here and pm me any questions
uploading is restricted to jpg/png files with a maximum of 2,4MB size.
go ahead and give it a load but, please be nice and don't upload a terabyte of pics.
We chose a server that likes to break transfers now and then so we can test the error correction.
i uploaded over 1GB at once without one failure!!!

if you want to give it a real kick in the ? pm me and i'll give you a login to an unrestricted version, and a day to upload a much a you want.
