This module looks fantastic but I am looking for a solution to just upload large PDF files to a specific folder on the server - does a simple jupload module exist? How hard would it be for me to hack this module to let me upload PDF docs?
Thanks for your assistance and your hard work on this module

Please take a look at the http://drupal.org/project/swfupload.

That one should do it for you.

The problem (limitation) of swfupload is that it does not support resuming file transfers if the HTTP connection goes down. My understanding is that Jupload supports resume, so Jupload is a "better" solution for uploading large files.

I have a client that needs to upload files > 300MB in a reliable way and am looking for a way to use Jupload as a general filefield handler.

Has anyone modified jifupload to support general filefields instead of only imagefields?

Right now jifupload is inserted into the imagefield form. It should really be its own widget. You could easily make a filefield widget with the uploader. However, that would be a separate module. I'm also unknowledgable about whether it would solve your 300M upload problem.
