Re: Uploading multiple files
I'll suggest you to use this great javascript and Flash utility to upload several files. Works like a charm for me integrated with CF backend.

Re: Uploading multiple files
Use multiple typoe="file" fields with unique names and process each one separately. I've also created apps where a single zip file containing multiple files can be uploaded, then the package is unzipped and the files contained are processed.

You can't. You'll need to use something like a flex app or a java applet.

uploading multiple files questions
I'm trying to upload multiple files to the server from a form with multiple file buttons. The code for the upload is below. I have a couple of problems. - I receive an error from Safari (not IE, or Firefox): Safari canât open the page âhttp://hhp.umd.edu/dean/notes/additem.cfmâ. The error was: âPOSIX error: Is a directoryâ (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:21) - so in the code, I check the file size. I grabbed this code from something I did years ago, but it uploaded one file. I don't see the file name designated where the file size is checking. Which file then is it checking? Or more a practical question is how do I get it to check the file that's currently uploading? It may be for all I can tell. code -- Your directory has been created. Your had a directory. #currentDirectory# The file is too large. The image file must be 1 megabyte or smaller.

Follow-up: Uploading multiple files - not necessarily CF
Thanks to all who offered solutions to this dilemma. As I suspected, due to security concerns, any solution requiring a Java applet, Flash, or any other third-party solution is a non-starter. The users will just have to deal with it. I am hopeful, however, that others who search the CF-Talk archives and have a similar issue will find your responses helpful. -Original Message- I'm looking for a solution to this problem: For an intranet site, the end user should be able to select multiple files (or even a directory) located on his/her local machine, and press a single button to upload them to the server. We're a CF shop and I don't see a CF solution for this piece, but it needs to work with CF. Perhaps a Java applet? Maybe Flash? We'll certainly be using CF for the back-end processing of the files, but what is not desired is having the multiple html file form fields. This is for an intranet application with VERY tightly controlled browser and OS environments. Downloading a separate application is pretty much a non-starter; it needs to work in the browser window. Any pointers you can offer would be appreciated. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244794 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

It's not for me. It's for a client. They may end up getting it by default.

sorry if this has already been addressed, but wouldn't 20 (or even 5) file uploads just timeout on the server? I guess it depends on what is being uploaded, but...

RE: Uploading multiple files - not necessarily CF
Yes, I know it can't be done from the standard browser dialog, that's why I'm looking for another solution. I'm finding some promising things using Java and/or ASP.NET.

Exactly. I'm dealing with users who aren't terribly sophisticated. "I can select multiple files in Word. Why can't I do it to upload files in my browser?"

Uploading multiple files - not necessarily CF
I'm looking for a solution to this problem: For an intranet site, the end user should be able to select multiple files (or even a directory) located on his/her local machine, and press a single button to upload them to the server. We're a CF shop and I don't see a CF solution for this piece, but it needs to work with CF. Perhaps a Java applet? Maybe Flash? We'll certainly be using CF for the back-end processing of the files, but what is not desired is having the multiple html file form fields. This is for an intranet application with VERY tightly controlled browser and OS environments. Downloading a separate application is pretty much a non-starter; it needs to work in the browser window.

RE: uploading multiple files
you will use CFFILE in each iteration of the CFLOOP in the code that handles the original form. so from each CFFILE iteration, you get the file name of each uploaded file. -Original Message- From: Susan Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 10:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: uploading multiple files Thank you.

RE: uploading multiple files
i do this a lot. in your form, CFLOOP to create each upload form element. use the INDEX value as part of each form element name. then, in the code that handles the form, CFLOOP over the name of each form element using Evaluate() to get the actual value of each var name. -Original Message- From: Susan Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 9:04 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: uploading multiple files Hi all-- I have a form that uses multiple to upload multiple files(images and PDFs).

RE: Uploading multiple files at one time
i've done this on several occassions this way: 1) the user enters how many files to upload (n) 2) loop n times over INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=file#n# 3) pass a var with the same num but incremental values in each iteration - so you might wind up with a var called "list" with a value of 1,2,3,4,...etc. 4) once the user submits, you loop over the list and in each iteration of that loop, process the file according to file#n# if it doesn't work, let me know and i'll send you some code. -Original Message- From: Milks, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 11:49 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Uploading multiple files at one time Hi All, I want to upload several files at a time, without writing the file to the server until the user submits the form.

Re: uploading multiple files
#file.serverfile# can only contain one value at a time. So your code will
write the value for excfile into both fields in the db. Instead, do a
cffile, then assign the file.serverfile to another variable, then do your
next cffile, and so on.
Ex:
INSERT INTO table
(resFile, excfile)
VALUES
(''#resfilename#', '#excfilename#')
