Hello,

Two questions:

Is there a way to create a file open dialog that will open a file on the server?

also, it there a way the user can save multiple files all at one time?

Thank you,

Allasso

Kinda. You can give them an Open/Save dialog and they'll download whatever you want them to.

In one request? No. But you can use compression (eg, ZIP, RAR) to combine files together.

Hmmm... Could you elaborate on that? Not sure exactly what you mean. How would you do that?

Maybe I wasn't too clear, what I want, is to be able to browse for a file on the server using a dialog box.

No. You'd have to make some PHP page(s) behave like a filesystem browser.
