---how do I upload a FOLDER to the server? --
PLEASE oh god please. help. me. I've built a template driven web-site for
the local community college. Every instructor can upload templates for their
classes, which is a collection of files and graphics. The instructors want
to up load the root directory and all the folders inside of that (so
something like 1 folder with 4 html files and a number of folders in that.
One of those folders would be your classic 'images' folder.)
so here's the question:
---how do I upload a FOLDER to the server? --
you can only upload individual files using the cffile tag, and the cffftp
tag seems to have a similar limitation.
PLEASE, can any one point me in the right direction?
I've include one of the solutions I tried as a work around. It didn't work
because you can't set the Value attribute of a input=file tag the same way
you can with a input=text. (If you do set the value of the input=file tag,
the page you pass the variables to thinks they are empty regardless)
I m hoping this set of code will inspire someone.

-------------
again these files are just for insperation. I was trying to work around the
"only upload one file at a time limitation" the idea was to have the
instructors point to a folder and list the files in that folder then have
cold fusion loop through it, doing all the leg work....
but the easiest solution would be to UPLOAD an ENTIRE FILE!!!
please... Its so late and Im so tired.....
Thank you
