Well...that's the user's problem...why not risk multiple files with uploading if they're going to risk one?
I see your point about the greater risk, but that's where the user needs to be cautious. I can't see not creating a function for uploading an entire directory, which would be very useful, just to reduce security risk...especially since only the user can be held responsible. Besides, the same thing can accomplished with much more difficulty using FTP to provide local access to the directory... I don't get it...is Macromedia just trying to protect itself by not providing this functionality? Trying to protect users?

What's the security difference? For one thing, a user might not know about all the files within a directory, so they could potentially be manipulated into uploading sensitive files. But in any case, it doesn't matter, since you can't specify a directory to upload from within an HTML form.
