Uploading a Directory & Contents

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello,

I’m trying to find a way to upload a directory and all it’s contents, using a browser instead of FTP, without zipping the directory.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Chris

you mean from your computer to the server, right?

I have a form that I allows users to upload files using POST. I want them to be able to upload all the files in a directory in one shot. The only way I can see that it can be done is to zip the directory first. Then extract the contents server side.

However, I've not done that before so I'm trying to figure out a script to do it.

Thanks,

Chris

http://php.net/zip

never tried that though

My suggestion is to simply place a step-by-step guide on how to compress the folder, and then upload. After you have uploaded it, you can uncompress it on the server.

Success!
