cancelled at once

which uses chucking to send the file to PHP which requires server side resources, JUpload uses old
school FTP over port 21 to transfer the files.
Bulk File Nodes - - Y - Bulk File Nodes allows a user to upload or import many files at once, and have many individual nodes
created, one for each file . Where this module significantly differentiates from other modules like Bulk
Media Upload is that after uploading/importing the file(s), the user is given the opportunity to edit all of
the fields for each node in a single form.

files) for Drupal 7 in modern (HTML5 compliant) browser, nothing more.
There are also a WEALTH of file management modules that looks a bit like an FTP client screen some of which are independent of node edit pages.
