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
