Uploading files to FMS with progress indicator? Best process?

Hi All,

I'm working on a project with FMS and I am brand new to FMS. I've been tasked with figuring out how files will be uploaded to the FMS server.

What we would like is for the user to be able to browse to the file on their local system, select the file, and then hit the upload button and see a progress indicator showing the progress of the upload as it runs.

Does FMS provide something like this? If so, how is it accomplished (activex control, java, flash object, other) ???

    You'd need an application server (like PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, etc) to accept the upload and move the file into the appropriate directory.

    The latest version of FMS ships with Apache, and I suppose you could configure PHP to work with the Apache installation, so the answer to your question is, yeah, I guess FMS does that, but not out-of-the-box.

    Regardless of where your HTTP server and application server are, you would use the FileReference class in client side actionscript to push the file up to the server... it's not something you would do over your netconnection to FMS.
