How do I upload multiple files from a specified folder?

Hi,

Users can currently upload a single file within my JSP by browsing to the specified file. Works without any problems. However, a recent requirement now requires the user to be able to select a folder and have all images/files within that folder uploaded.

How can I provide this functionality within my JSP and servlet?

Advice much appreciated.

Thanks.

You can't. At least not with standard browser upload controls. HTML does not provide for anything but one file per <input type="file"> control. You can put more than one file control on a page (or even allow them to create new ones on the fly via JavaScript), but you cannot choose a folder and upload all files within it.

Thanks Bear. I thought as much. Is there an alternative solution to achieve said functionality? A client based app. would be acceptable.

Cheers.
