Bulk File Upload
-
Hi I have a situation where i need to upload many files at a time. The number of files can be any thing like 1, 100, 144, 1000, or 500 or any number. a user will come he will select a folder the uploader should loop the folder and upload every file that is present in the folder. Does there lie a solution to this problem in asp.net.

I don't think this is possible directly with asp.net. Security issue in web. :) However, you can achieve this using Flash, silverlight or ActiveX in your web application. I would suggest, search solution(s) in those area.

I would not allow any browser to read my hard drive(s)/Folder and send the file information to the server. It is ok for me to upload the selected file based on need AND with my permission. But if anything is getting uploaded, i should be properly aware of them. Please note and every user is not a developer and they may or may not be aware of what your site is doing. I hope this answers your question. If not, you may google it. A lot of thread has already discussed on "File Upload security issue". :)

Check out this JQuery Plugin ('Uploadify'): http://www.uploadify.com/demos/[^] It still needs to you to select all files in the folder and may not be able to recursively select folders in it.
