Hi,
I was hopeing someone could tell me if there is a way to upload a
directory to a script from the browser. I can do it fine with a file at
a time but what about a directory.

Is this possible

Thanks

Gary

Ask the end user to put the whole directory into a ZIP file, upload that
and then unzip it at the other end.

Another option is drag and drop FTP access on the webpage using JS.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, so that may not work.

Hm... so there's no mechanism to figure out if a user has selected
multiple files, the way applications can open multiple files?

Thanks for the replies the first answer was a bit depressing because
there seemed no way of doing it. Basically i'm trying to find an easy
way to upload a directory full of image files. At the moment i am asking
the user to zip the directory up then upload it which is a pain. So i'm
hoping there is a way using js or something.

Thanks

you could try an approach like this one......



<form name="whatsee">
<input name="filething" type="file"
onkeyup="document.whatsee.buttonthing.disabled = (this.value.length == 0)"
/>
<input name="buttonthing" type="submit" disabled value="get another file"
onClick="doWhatYouGottaDo()" />
<input name="gothing" type="submit" />
</form>


.... a bit of script in there, so take care in your reasoning to use it.
