No, just one machine.

It would be wasteful to run a whole new machine just for uploading these
documents.

It might be nice if there were an Apache modules that let you remove the
limit for a specific upload path.

The other issue is user interface quality.

The users how to use Mac and Windows SCP and FTP GUIs, so that's a nice
thing to stick with.

Personally, I think browser uploads suck mightily.  You can only do one
file at a time, the interface for browsing files sucks compared to
dedicated programs, and I've found it frequently unreliable.

It would just be nice to avoid it if possible.

Maybe it will have to suffice, but for now I'm looking for alternatives.
