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 ;).
