AppletFile's AutoZIP technology compresses files into a ZIP archive before they are uploaded to the server. This can significantly reduce upload times as well as the load on your network. If you are uploading files that contain mostly text and bitmap graphics, you can expect to see your upload times cut in half.  And if you are already archiving your files on the server in ZIP format to save space, you no longer need to perform this post processing on the server.

To upload your files as a ZIP archive add the following parameter to your upload page:

<PARAM NAME="autoZip" VALUE="true">

For a working example of this technique, refer to the Custom Upload sample application.
