What's a good alternative to Uploadify?

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.
