I need to have an app which allows large \>200mb files to be uploaded.  
I don’t want to use ftp for security reasons.  
I have tried boxroom, but it chokes on moderate size files (may be a  
mongrel problem).  
Has anybody created or has an idea about creating a little app which  
supports this? Preferably with upload status.

Thanks

You could use merb as it was made for file uploading. It’s another  
framework  
built on Ruby.
