Rails - Sep 2005 - SFTP with rails

Hi,

I wanted to uplaod a large number of files, thus HTTP, form/post will 
not be useful, thus was thinking of a choice to use ftp/sftp, how can I 
use sftp with rails, any thoughts ideas, links?

regards
Gnan

You could use one of a few browser-based file upload utilities. They make it 
possible to upload entire directories or selection lists instead of just one 
file at a time.

There is an ActiveX control and Java applet made by softartisans, 
www.softartisans.com
http://fileup.softartisans.com/fileup-147.aspx

There are also custom utilities for uploading images and music files out 
there. I don''t know if any of it is free, I''ve seen them used
on sites like
www.winkflash.com

Why not upload a zip?
