The Joomla Flash Uploader (JFU) is the Joomla component of the TWG Flash Uploader. JFU enables everyone to upload files with a Flash to a web server the easiest way possible. No upload HTML form anymore where you have to upload each file individually. You only need Flash 8 or higher installed to use this component. You can resize images automatically after the upload and is therefore optimal for adding images to your galleries. Previews of images are available too. Administrators can upload files in the backend of Joomla AND the functionality can be offered to the users in the front-end as well. Upload profiles can be created and assigned to Joomla users. This gives the possibility to give e.g. every user a different upload directory and/or different rights/functions. Uploading was never easier!
