Why not? If she is using XP, then, IIRC, she can zip up a directory as a right click option (been a while). WinZip, properly installed, should also provide a click-menu way of compressing a directory. You might have to experiment with configurations to get the right zip settings/unzipping commands to cooperate at both ends, but since it's you and your mother, I expect you have a fair amount of control over that aspect. But if you like the concept, I'd be surprised if an hour or two experimentation didn't find a workable method, even for your mother.

Otherwise, you're stuck with uploading single files. The very idea of giving a web browser the power to browse my directory tree and upload files I didn't explicitly indicate gives me hives.
