file upload http or ftp
Hi,
We have a requirement and i am working towards a good implementation design. I appreciate your inputs.
We are J2EE web application serving on https. We have a requirement to accept documents from our clients (file uploads). We expect some of our clients to have a low bandwidth connections but there is a need for them to upload large documents.
Given that, could you please suggest what is the best approach to design this application. Any leads are appreciated.
I am thinking of using http upload or ftp based upload. I am not sure if there is any other way to pursue this. Also any implementation reference for such scenarios and any considerations for designs.
We don't prefer any agents on client machines. Is there anyway to provide resume feature in that case? Also is ftp more reliable for large files on low bandwidth connections or that is not a right assumption?
I also wonder how we can guard from external hacking if we provide anonymous ftp upload to our servers.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
-S
