File Upload Flash Utility

I am looking for a web based file upload utility written in flash. The user would use the flash utility to select the file from their local harddrive that they would like to upload. The flash utility would then need to connect to a remote FTP server and upload the file.

Essentially I require something very similar to SWFUpload but one that uses FTP directly and does not require a server side language.

If anyone knows of something like this it would be much appreciated.

Heya, if you're feeling brave then you could try porting this Flex project to Flash, or just use Flex.

The problem you'll have if you did port it over would be that anyone could decompile your file using one of several Flash decompilers and see what your FTP login details are. That's one advantage of using a server side scripting language to handle the file uploads.

Thanks for the link, I appreciate your looking into this.

Unfortunately I'm a PHP developer not a flash developer so porting the project probably won't be an option for me. Using a server side language for this would be preferable, unfortunately in this case the size of the files makes transfer over HTTP impractical.

The login details are not a major concern, the users will likely have access to the login details anyway so they can upload files using an FTP client of their choice if they have that level of technical knowledge.

I haven't tried it yet myself, but maybe Flash's FileReference class would suit you.

Not on its own although it is used within the project I linked to.
