Hi
I am building an web based .NET Application which allows users to specify a directory location from it's machine, and when it press publish it uploads all the files and subfolders folders from that directory to server. I just want to know if there is any mathod in .net which allow me to browse through client's directory structure programatically and give me subfolders and files info to upload them on server. I have build similar app using directory object. but it works only on server not client to server. Any help in this will be much appriciated

Not easy...
You are going to need to write/get an activex control to do something like
that. You can imagine for security purposes that browsing/uploading from
the client is a big no no. The closest thing to that is using the <input
type=file /> tag, which allows the client to select ONE file which can be
posted and you can save that to the server. But if you are looking into
uploading entire directory structures, that tag wouldn't suffice. Honestly
I'd look into creating a windows forms application that would ftp the files
up, or just teach the client how to ftp with their own ftp client program,
either way would be much easier than doing what you want through a webpage.

I don't think it is possible using just HTML and javascript. It will
be a security hole if javascript can do that. However, you can have
the client download a .NET component, and use that component to
retrieve the client's directory structure.

Hi Guys,
We know that we can use <input type=file ...> to upload
one file per time to the server. My question is if there
are some way to upload multiple files per time to the
server. (Of course, we can use <input type=file ...>
multiple times and then submit once. But this is not what
I want, because we have to click "browse" button several
times to select multiple files before submit in this
way.) "Upload multiple files PER TIME", I...

I understand that there is no way to upload multiple files using ASP
and COM+ without having multiple form elements like <input
type='file'>.
I also understand that there is no way to programmatically set the
value of <input type='file'> in IE because it poses a security risk.
I didn't know these two facts before I tried to create a client-side
activeX component in VB6 which would allow someone to select multiple
files from their hard...

Dear Folks
I am programming a page that asks user a directory name and lists files
of type *.xls in the directory in client's machine. He/She will then
select some files to upload them to the server.
Is there any way to ask a directory name and then list the files of
that directory in client's machine? The typical browser that is used is
IE but I am not allowed to use ActiveX objects.

I asked the question yesterday, but know better how to ask it, today:
I'm trying to use the File.Copy method to copy a file from a client to
server (.Net web app under IIS ). It looks to me that when I
give a path like @"C:\holdfiles\myfile.txt" it looks on the server C drive.
How do I pull from the client? Do I need a different class and/or method?
Filestream?

Ok, so I'm the author of a pretty big CMS system (big as in huge, not

The CMS accomodates both images/media uploaded by admins, but also by
members (in forum and blogs and such). Nothing strange about that at
all.
But now I'm faced with the need of moving - physically - all my media

Hi,
I have a C++ routine(client-side) which uploads an xml file to a web server by making a socket connection and sending all the post request through that socket.
On the server side I have a cgi script which receives all the data and creates a file in the specified directory.
If I am uploading only the file all works well, however I want to send data of other fields too (field1, field2 ..etc), this fails the post request and even the file is...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
