What do you mean by select a folder? do you mean that you want to upload a whole folder at one time?

You can't!

or else you can zip it to a file and then upload it

I think i did not explain my problem to you.
my task is...
i am working on a task of downloading page.for that i have to give a user interface to user to select a folder in which user selected file will be downloaded.

1. user select a file(on web page).
2. user select a folder on his harddisk
3. user click the "download" button to complete operation.
my question is how can user select folder where he want to download file.
