Q: 

Java FTP applet

Can someone suggest a FREE Java FTP applet that I could use to allow non-tech savvy customers to upload large files without having to install an FTP client? It doesn't need to have to ability to "get" files, only "put" files. Drag-n-drop would be an added benefit.

Though not FREE, this applet (jClientUpload) by JavaZOOM is pretty much what I'm looking for:

A: 

No one comes to mind, but you can easily develop one yourself. First create a Swing application which uses JFileChooser to select a file and sends it to the server side using a Java FTP client API. The Apache Commons Net FTPClient is suitable for this. Then wrap this in an Applet which you embed in your webpage the usual way.

It's been forever and a day since I wrote a Java applet. At this point, it's time and cost prohibited for me to devote resources to this task but thanks for the suggestions. I'll make note of it in case the situation changes.
