Actually, you could unzip on the server. You could have a zip file uploaded
and, when the file is uploaded you can open it with a zip library, such as
#ziplibrary at:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSourc...b/Default.aspx, and do what
you want with the files contained inside. That's probably the easiest way
to do it for the server end of things.

Hope this helps,

Adam,
Html only has a single file upload control, so that limits one file at a
time, so the answer is that there is no built-in way to upload multiple
files just by selecting a folder.

Second, there is a way to unzip a .zip file using managed code. See the url
for a sample:

Best regards,
Jeffrey Palermo
