Can I do Multipl File Uploads?

P

Paul D. Fox

The user would like a form with a Browse button to select "Multiple" Files
(e.g. Ctrl-click) and then upload all of these files to a web server. I've
only seen this with Multiple Textbox/Browse buttons. Can this be done with
only one browse button?

One way to accomplish this is to put multiple input boxes on the same form.
Let the user browse once for each file. Once all are selected, the user
selects Submit and all files are sent to the server. This can create a VERY
big Request hitting your server depending on file size. You may need to
increase the metabase setting for the max request size. However, know that
increasing it also opens the possibility that someone will abuse this and
create a DOS situation by clobbering server resources.

Sure, if you write or use an ActiveX control or Java Applet that can do
this. The browser cannot.
