File Upload issues

[amebb5029]

Hi
Just a quick question.

I am trying to setup my site so that the users can upload folders.

Example.... if i have two folders containing data, word docs etc on my usb stick then i want to upload the whole thing, two folders etc.

At the moment i cannot do that. The options are for files..

The only way I can do that is to create a folder on my storage space then upload files into that folder. This is or can be very long winded depending on what files and folders you have to upload.

Is there any easier method that i have not discovered yet?

Any help much appreciated.


Thank you

There are a few possible solutions:

- Try to implement folder upload, but not all browsers support it.
- Implement a function to unzip archives so that the users can zip a folder, upload and unzip on the server.
- Create a desktop app that syncs files just like google drive (I was doing one app like this).
- Instruct the user to upload via ftp. (I was creating a custom ftp server as well)
