Funnily enough I want something similar, I tried to use the uploader
on a separate page and got... nowhere. I've also tried quite a few
alternatives and they all seem to fail at some point (except one small
flash uploader which i got to work... then found out it would only
upload images).

I'm trying to add an uploader that can upload large files (bigger than
php will normally allow), to a specific directory but I don't
want/need it limited in other ways, as I will ahve no idea what users
will want to upload.
