i guess i can do this using ActiveX contol to or am i wrong?
i would highly suggest against activex. most people disable it. however if your site is being used by people who frequent it often enough to put it inside their trusted zone i suppose activex woudl work. it would also simplify the process quite nicely.
Actually an applet has the same issues as activex.  On our networks we don't allow anything that can access local assets.  JAVA is just as dangerous as activex.  The only difference is it requires a little more skill, and you don't have kiddie hacker sites full of hacks and exploits.

ASPupload (ie, xupload) IS an activex object.  Having said that it seems pretty stable and it's definitely a nice piece of work.

Of course you'll need your users to be running ie and not be deterred by xp service pack 2's warnings etc.
sorry my mistake.  I've been using xupload for 3 months now and never even noticed asupupload on their site.
ASPUpload is used on the server side, so client's configuration (regarding ActiveX) is irrelevant.
split ryancys and JRSharpUK IMHO.
