    <para>
        <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> provides extensive support for file uploads and
        downloads. It comes with built-in validators for files plus functionality to change files
        with filters. Protocol adapters allow <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> to expose
        the same <acronym>API</acronym> for transport protocols like <acronym>HTTP</acronym>, FTP,
        WEBDAV and more.

        <title>Limitation</title>

        <para>
            The current implementation of <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> is limited to
            <acronym>HTTP</acronym> Post Uploads. Other adapters supporting downloads and other
            protocols will be added in future releases. Unimplemented methods will throw an
            exception. For now, you should use
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http</classname> directly. As soon as
            there are multiple adapters available you can use a common interface.
        </para>

    <note>
        <title>Forms</title>

        <para>
            When you are using <classname>Zend_Form</classname> you should use the
            <acronym>API</acronym>s provided by <classname>Zend_Form</classname> and not
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> directly. The file transfer support in
            <classname>Zend_Form</classname> is implemented with
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname>, so the information in this chapter may
            be useful for advanced users of <classname>Zend_Form</classname>.
        </para>
    </note>

    <para>
        The usage of <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> is relatively simple. It consists of
        two parts. The <acronym>HTTP</acronym> form does the upload, while the
        <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> handles the uploaded files. See the following
        example:
    </para>

    <example id="zend.file.transfer.introduction.example">
        <title>Simple Form for Uploading Files</title>

        <para>
            This example illustrates basic file uploading.
            The first part is the file form. In our example there is one file to upload.
        </para>

        <programlisting language="xml"><![CDATA[
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/file/upload" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
        Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
           For convenience, you can use <link
               linkend="zend.form.standardElements.file">Zend_Form_Element_File</link> instead of
           building the <acronym>HTML</acronym> manually.
        </para>

        <para>
            The next step is to create the receiver of the upload. In our example the receiver is
            located at <filename>/file/upload</filename>. So next we will create the 'file'
            controller and the <methodname>upload()</methodname> action.
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
$adapter = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();

$adapter->setDestination('C:\temp');

if (!$adapter->receive()) {
    $messages = $adapter->getMessages();
    echo implode("\n", $messages);
}
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
            This code listing demonstrates the simplest usage of
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname>. A local destination is set with the
            <methodname>setDestination()</methodname> method, then the
            <methodname>receive()</methodname> method is called. if there are any upload errors, an
            error will be returned.
        </para>
    </example>

    <note>
        <title>Attention</title>

        <para>
            This example is suitable only for demonstrating the basic <acronym>API</acronym> of
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname>. You should <emphasis>never</emphasis> use
            this code listing in a production environment, because severe security issues may be
            introduced. You should always use validators to increase security.

        <para>
            <classname>Zend_File_Transfer</classname> can give you the actual state of a fileupload
            in progress. To use this feature you need either the <acronym>APC</acronym> extension

            <classname>UploadProgress</classname> extension. Both extensions are detected and used

            Second, you need to have the proper hidden fields added in the form which sends the

                array with several keys. They differ according to the used <acronym>PHP</acronym>
                extension. But the following keys are given independently of the extension:
            </para>

            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>id</emphasis>: The ID of this upload. This ID identifies the
                        upload within the extension. You can set it to the value of the hidden key
                        which identified the upload when initially calling
                        <methodname>getProgress()</methodname>. Per default it is set to
                        <emphasis>progress_key</emphasis>. You must not change the ID afterwards.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>total</emphasis>: The total filesize of the uploaded files in
                        bytes as integer.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>current</emphasis>: The current uploaded filesize in bytes
                        as integer.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>rate</emphasis>: The average upload speed in bytes per second
                        as integer.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>done</emphasis>: Returns <constant>TRUE</constant> when the upload
                        is finished and <constant>FALSE</constant> otherwise.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>message</emphasis>: The actual message. Either the progress as
                        text in the form <emphasis>10kB / 200kB</emphasis>, or a helpful message
                        in the case of a problem. Problems could be, that there is no upload in
                        progress, that there was a failure while retrieving the data for the
                        progress, or that the upload has been canceled.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                <listitem>
                    <para>
                        <emphasis>progress</emphasis>: This optional key takes a instance of
                        <classname>Zend_ProgressBar_Adapter</classname> or
                        <classname>Zend_ProgressBar</classname> and allows to get the actual upload
                        state within a progressbar.
                    </para>
                </listitem>

                    <para>
                        <emphasis>session</emphasis>: This optional key takes the name of a session
                        namespace which will be used within <classname>Zend_ProgressBar</classname>.
                        When this key is not given it defaults to
                        <classname>Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http_ProgressBar</classname>.
                    </para>
                </listitem>
            </itemizedlist>

            <para>
                All other returned keys are provided directly from the extensions and will not be
                checked.
            </para>

            <para>
                The following example shows a possible manual usage:
            </para>

            <example id="zend.file.transfer.introduction.uploadprogress.manually.example1">
                <title>Manual usage of the file progress</title>

                <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
$upload  = Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http::getProgress();

while (!$upload['done']) {
    $upload = Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http:getProgress($upload);
    print "\nActual progress:".$upload['message'];
    // do whatever you need
}
]]></programlisting>
            </example>

            <note>

                <para>
                    The above example works when your upload identified is set to 'progress_key'.
                    When you are using another identifier within your form you must give the used
                    identifier as first parameter to <methodname>getProgress()</methodname> on the
                    initial call.
