The html5 filesystem API allows you to add files from the "real" filesystem of the clients machine to the "sandboxed" filesystem in the browser. The browser can then send files in the "sandbox" to the server or manipulate those directly.
To add files to the sandboxed filesystem one can use drag&drop or file selection dialog. webkit based broswers like Chrome support directories too: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/html5storage/demos/upload_directory/index.html mic 2012/6/19 stefaan <stefaan.hi...@gmail.com>: > From what I understand: > If it is a folder on the client pc, it probably isn't possible with just > javascript. > If it is a folder on the server, it should be possible to write something > yourself (maybe a lot of work if you want a full-fledged file manager, but > if you can live with listing possible foldernames in some combobox, you > should be fine :) ) >
