Download TFU

The TWG Flash Uploader is a very comfortable way for your users to upload file to the remote server. Because it's based on flash it can be used by almost everyone. You can simply upload files by selecting files on your hard drive and simply press the upload button. Just select the different demos in the menu to see how it works!

You can manage your files as well. You can e.g. create, rename and delete folders and files, browse directories, edit files and much more.

Before Flash 8 this functionality could only be done with upload applets. And if you google around a little bit you will find out that they are all quite expensive ;).
Some good upload applets I have found are MyUploader and Rad Upload. Simply compare and come back ;).

Features

TFU and JFU do still work 100% with Flash 10!

New 2.16:

• Layout optimizations for all settings that do change the default setup.
• Eventlisteners where enhanced and extended.
• session_cache folder is now protected automatically by a index.htm and .htaccess file.
• New features needed for the JFUploader button

New 2.15:

• The freeware version does not have a 3 MB limit anymore! It is replaced by a 3 MB popup where you can continue after entering a random number. So you can now fully test to your server limits.
• You can switch the server and upload windows. See switch_sides in the config.
• Support of IDN-Domains. Please read howto 20 of the TFU FAQ.
• Fix: Date on the serverside was only shown when the directory had no special chars. Now the directory can have special chars, spaces...

New 2.14.x:

• File can be created directly in the flash. e.g. a private.txt in TWG
• The date can be shown on the server side instead the date.
• Directories can be sorted - see $sort_directores_by_date
• Directory quota is now possible. Set the maximum size for a folder and its subfolders.
• & in directory names are now supported.
• You can decide in which format pdf previews are saved. jpg and png is supported. CYMK pdf's are converted to RGB images!
• autoscroll to top after create and change directories and upload
• Fix: $forbidden_view_file_extensions was not working in 2.13 because I disabled this by mistake. Now it works fine again.
• Fix: if $forbidden_view_file_extensions was set files without extensions where hidden automatically. Now a extra , (empty extension) after this list hides files without extension.
• Fix: The edit button was shown after deleting a file. Now it is hidden properly.

New 2.13.x:

• An info text of the images is rendered onto the previews
• The complete configuration data is now sent encrypted to the flash.
• When you rename something the old filename is now displayed as default.
• $forbidden_view_file_filter - This is the most advanced filter to hide files. fnmatch is used so you can use e.g. a*.txt, exa*e.log. Seperate different filters by komma.
• $zip_file_pattern - You can define how the file name of the zip does look like. Please read the doc in tfu_config.php.
• $check_safemode in tfu_helper.php - on some systems the check for the safemode completely fails. If this is the case you can turn off this at the top of tfu_helper.php where some internal variables are defined.
• Renaming of the case of extensions is now possible even when rename extension is disabled.
• $has_post_processing - you can set tis to true if you do a lot after the upload. The flash has an internal warning after 10 sec. By setting this variable to "true" you get additional 10 sec.
• And a couple of fixes ....
