he's looking for something that can be built into the site, not a windows program to do this.How do you want the script to acess the server? http or ftp???
If ftp is fine with you, (generally much faster) then FileZilla is by far the best free program. It will upload/download to/from servers, and it shows you the progress of all transfers in the same window. And, it works on Windows, Linux, and Apple!
Let me know if that isn't what you want and I might be able to find something different.

that is ok but its to complicated. i just want something simple that i can easier edit to my needs.this combines both PHP, to handle the upload, and AJAX to deliver real-time updates on the upload. I'm busy right now, but i have found you 2 free scripts that should do the job for you, or atleast provide a backbone.
