It's an applet that allows to upload huge files into an FTP Active server via HTTP using a Java Applet.

Answer 1

Here's a step by step:

1. Create a class which accepts a File... argument and sends them to a SFTP server. Any Java SSH API should suffice. Here are the open source ones:

   • Jsch
   • SSHTools
   • Another overview

   Test it as a simple Java Application with a main() method.

2. Create a nice Swing UI utilizing the functionality of the class you created at step 1. You can for example use a JFileChooser to select local files for upload.

3. Create an Applet which launches the Swing UI which you created at step 2.

4. Embed the applet in a HTML page using <applet> or <object> tags or using the unversal applet deployment tool in flavor of deployJava.js.
