PING - just reactivating this message.

Is there a way for a user to specify a directory on their local PC and have PHP scan that directory and upload all the files including sub-directories to a server (in addition to building the subdirectory on the server and placing the files into their correct location).

I suspect not, but hoping that someone can clarify. I'm guessing that I'll have to do this in VB or C/C++

Thanks,

Mohammed

no website can perform such an action without the help of something residing on the client machine that has access to the file system such as Flash or Java.

And please don't resurrect long dead threads. ... split from here.

My apologies.

I suspected that that was the case. But oddly enough, someone on ScriptLance said that they can do this in PHP. I may pay just to see HOW they would accomplish this!

I've got a "workaround" of sorts. I'll just upload the directory to my *nix server, then write a small program to FTP the directory to various other servers. Not the best, but I'd rather not have to code this in VB or C.

Take care,

Mohammed
