The customers existing web site was running on the Joomla open source CMS system. Being a print shop they needed a means for their clients to upload files for printing. We custom coded a Joomla compatible 'Component' that added a feature for registered users to upload files of any size to the web site for downloading by the print shop when required.

Normal web-based upload facilities are limited to just a few Mb at best. Therefore we implemented a Java applet that intelligently splits large files into smaller pieces and then uploads and combines them back together. Using this system, files of over 2Gb can be uploaded!

Quote from the client: "Many thanks for this work - [there are now] several clients using the system and [we] remain delighted with it."
