Good thoughts, Rebecca... But, actually, since the photos in a gallery may only number 20-25, the easiest way is to simply do what I've been doing...supplying 5 CFFILE forms on a page and let them repeat the uploading 4 or 5 times. We're not talking huge numbers of photos, so the process is no big deal.
If I had a client who need large numbers of photos processed, then I think the FTP solution would be the way to go....but not in this case. Oh, and no, these are separate website clients, not people or computers inside an intranet where we could do folder sharing. Thanks for the advice, Rick -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 4:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to Browse and Choose Directory... There's also the whole issue of folder sharing and user permissions that hasn't been discussed. When the client browser pics a directory on the client computer, the path is a local path, i.e. c:\myworkstation\myWorkstationDirectory\. If a server tries to use that path, it translates into a path on the server, not the client computer. For the server to be able to see a directory on the client computer, the path it needs to use is from the server's view, the workstation's network path, i.e. \\mymyworkstation\myWorkstationDirectory AND myWorkstationDirectory needs to be setup to share it's contents. You would have to configure every workstation with this setup and it would only work if the server and workstations are on the same network, like a intranet and there were no firewall issues. It would not work over the Internet. I think it would be a heck of a lot easier to show your users how to use FTP because that's what it's designed to do. Just because you have a hammer, that do esn't make everything a nail. Use the right tool for the job! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
