I have a situation where I need to access a user provided directory on the local filesystem, and retrieve and upload all the files under that directory (including the files stored in sub directories) I cannot ask the end user to store all the files in the same directory, as the structure in which they're stored contains information that I also need to retrieve. I understand that this is a problem that may better be solved by a desktop application, but there was a specific request for this functionality to be developed as a web application. The question is if there's any way of accessing a certain directory on the local filesystem using the Gears Filesystem/Desktop API? I mean, is there a way of browsing under that directory, in order to retrieve all the files stored under that directory tree?
I welcome any ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance, Adrian.
