What's a good alternative to Uploadify?

Rails
1

I’m looking for an alternative to Uploadify to provide the ability to
allow the user to select multiple files to upload using the open file
browser. I want to avoid having the user select each file
individually as there could be over 20 files.

The application needs to let the user upload a lot of files without
making the user select each file individually.

Unfortunately Uploadify hasn’t been uploaded since Nov '10 and it
doesn’t seem to play nice with Ubuntu.

I’d appreciate any suggestions for alternative way for the user to
select multiple files to upload. Thanks.

Thanks. I’m testing it out now.

Unfortunately passenger/nginx 3.0.2 seems to be throwing exceptions
and returning 502 if the file is large, over 100KB. Hopefully a new
version will resolve that.

100kb isn’t large. I don’t know what the default for nginx is but you
can
set
the max file size accepted by nginx, ie client_max_body_size 4M, if you
want
to set the max to 4mb.
