uploading huge files

[Mario Rodriguez]

HI people, there is an alternative way to upload files than the ASP.NET
native way? Is OK for small files but It doesn't seems to be convenient for
an application where there is a lot of paralell uploadings of huge files
(50MB-100MB)

Any idea? open source components ?

thanks

FTP is an "totally unsafe" protocol and my application have strong security
requirements

You can still make it "safe". The process that looks at files can look at
the file header. The file header must have a certain security code or key -
what ever you come up with. If it does not, delete the file. You can also
block ftp at the front door using proxy/firewalls so people can't even get
as far as sending a file. If it is really secure, you probably have a
firewall anyway to filter access to the port - right? Naturally, you can
always create a socket app and code the transfer and security yourself.
Remoting would also work, but not sure how much faster it would be over your
http transfer and you would still need to prog the security.

How safe is safe? :)

Another way to make ftp safe is to use tunneling via ssh (for
example). There is information on the net how to do that.
