We faced the exact same problem: maybe you could check out a Java FTP 
applet.

There are some here, but Google will no doubt be able to dig up more.

I haven't used any of these in earnest, but I demoed a few and they 
seemed good. They're not all free. With an FTP connection (as opposed to 
HTTP) I believe your users won't experience these time-out issues.

PS We've decided in the end, for various authentication/SLA reasons, to 
go for a hand-rolled executable we will distribute to our client base.
