Multiple file upload

I usually use FTP to upload my files through Dreamweaver, but sometimes I go through the plesk management system, where you can only upload one file at a time. The ability to upload 10-20 files at a time, like other servers, would be helpful.

It is possible to upload 10-20 files through FTP.

The file manage will only do one at a time and not designed ot do the full directory. The biggest reason for that is some of the security in place that limites how much upload can be done from a web based interface. So FTP is the right route and the File manager is for quick fixes, or people that are not computer savvy to have a way to make an edit if need be.

It would be awesome if Plesk would allow us to upload more than one file at a time, wouldn't it?

Hello,

If you have a form where you want to allow a user to upload more than one file, you’re stuck with either adding as many file input elements as the number of files you want to upload, or possibly having new ones appear ‘magically’ through Javascript. I was mulling over some ideas while walking home from work last week, when I came up with what I thought might be a quite cunning (and more atttractive and useable) way to allow a form to use a single file input element — sort of — to upload multiple files. Since you can only store file upload information in a file upload element (<input type=”file”>), you’ll always need to have one element per file to be uploaded. But what occurred to me is that you don’t need to display all those file elements.

Thanks,
