File() too slow

There is already an exisitng product that has an applet that breaks
the files into smaller chunks and uploads those files to a server side
script (via Java Servlet) to re-assemble the file on the server side.
The product can also send the reconstructed file to an FTP server of
your choice. This method is great for Secure file transfers and to
by-pass proxies and firewalls on the client side.

For demos and to download an evaluation version
take a look at http://www.unlimitedftp.ca/uftps

Good Luck!
