Improved File Upload with Firefox 2 and Rad Upload 3

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SRI LANKA, November 15, 2006 - Rad Upload is a file upload solution specially designed for use on Photo sharing websites and and Content Management Systems. It is a replacement for conventional HTML forms traditionally used on websites for file upload. Such forms are cumbersome to use and can handle only a limited number of files at once. Rad Upload on the other hand can easily transfer thousands of files and folders containing giga bytes of data with just one drag and drop.

When uploading with HTML forms, the user needs to individually select each file but folders cannot be selected. Thus when an entire directory needs to be uploaded, the user may have the click the browse button hundreds of times. On the other hand, with Rad Upload the user can select any number of files and folders, drag them across and drop them on the browser to start the upload.

Another draw back of HTML form based uploads, is that they do not provide real any indication of upload progress, the user has to guess what percentage of data has been transferred. With Rad Upload, a progress monitor will pop when the transfer beings so that the user can easily keep track of progress.

Another major benefit of using Rad Upload is it's ability to resize images at the client end. Often a web application that deals with images, expects them to be of predetermined size, and ends up resizing them to fit. Doing so at the server side consumes a significant amount of resources on your server and it's costly to develop as well.

The Rad Upload applet is compatible with all popular browsers such as Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari and Opera on Windows, Linux and OS X. It can be used with popular server side technologies such as PHP, Java, Perl and .NET Since it's debut in 2003, Rad Upload has gained wide acceptance and it is currently used by tens of thousands of web masters and developers to build more user friendly websites. The version aims to improve the compatibility of Rad Upload with Firefox 2.
