Hi,
I have a serious problem. I'm currently developing an application in which the user should upload many files (600-700 xml files). I've searched the web for a while and so far I realized that there's no way to use the HtmlInputFile class to achive the desired effect just because I can't set programatically the property of the class that stores the path of the selected file.
My first approach was to write some javascript code which would generate
<input type="file"> tags but that seemed useless because firstly, in code-behind I can't access them and secondly, I can't set the path of the specified files. On the web I've found some articles which explain how to upload multiple files using the htmlinputfile class but in every case the number of htmlinputfile objects is static and the user should select manually the files he wants to upload. That's fine if you permit 3-5 files to be uploaded but when you want to handle a larger number of files, it is inconvenient.
In my case, the user should provide a folder on the drive and the application should handle the uploading of contents of that folder.
Any help is very, very appreciated!!!

I don't think any scripting languages will work for that, they are all pretty limited that way. The example I wrote doesn't need a specified number (check out the ASP articles section) but I don't think it will be able to handle 600 files. I would suggest using a java applet, but then most computers severely restrict what java applets can do, but if a limited number of users are going to do this, I think it would be a viable option.

Hi
For a CMS admin tool I would like to provide a possibility to upload large
files to a directory on the webserver. As HTTP uploads are limited in file
size and also not comfortable in handling, I thought of an FTP solution.
Displaying a link to ftp://mydomain.com/mydirectory is easy but limited to
browsers who can act as FTP clients, such as Internet Explorer.

Hi there,
What's the better strategy for uploading large files trough webservices?
I can use Dime/WS-Attachments but for files with over 5MB in size, maybe I
got some timeout/refuse problems in my server. Is it a good idea upload the
files in chucks? In this case, how can I control and validate the
transfering, and ensure the security? As a matter of fact, I have to use
standarts for EDI processes.
Thanks in advanced.

MS won't seem to let me reply to my old post, so I created a new one.
The error occurs in all browsers. It's definitely a server issue, not client.
The server is not proxied in any way.
I tried uploading the files on the server and experienced the same issues as
I get on any other computer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
