There are two mechanism in order to add files from your local filesystem to an OS4X send job:

  • HTML5
  • SWF Upload

Both have several characteristics. These are:

HTML5

Your browser must support this feature to upload files a specific way. "XHR" is being used for this upload method, available in nearly all modern HTML5 capable web browsers.

SWF Upload

SWF Upload uses (as the name implies) a Shockwave browser plugin to access the local filesystem and transfer of the selected files. Due to the (widely available) browser plugin it's available on mostly any computer, but not supported on Unix machines. Also, due to restrictions in the browser plugin, the behaviour of the flash plugin may vary on different platforms and versions of Flash.

  • fast and easy access for multiple file upload
  • widely available
  • nice GUI
  • may have file buffering problems on some platforms
