They are signed by a trusted authority (micro$oft) that grants that they are secure to use and therefore can use features (file access) that would be otherwise forbiden (if the user chooses to trust it). The integrity of the component is also ensured.

Awlad, et al -- ...and then Awlad Hussain said... % % I found this link that has a stand alone java application that will allow to % to upload a folder... if that what you want? or you want it to be embedded % in your webpage? I don't really know what I want other than the functionality. What I really want is to open a dialog box / file browser where you can select multiple files and then click a button, much like opening multiple documents in the bafflingly-ever-popular MS Word (File - Open - ctrl-click each or shift-click a group - Open). I can have that sort of browser box, but only for a single file, in basic HTML code. I have no idea what javascript can do for me, but since other parts of my app already require javascript that wouldn't be so bad. Going to Java would mean another requirement, but perhaps those who would most want such a feature would also be likely to not have turned off Java so it could work anyway.

RE: [PHP] uploading entire directory, with or without compression ...
i have looked into this , and the browser is only limited to single file uploads , but yes a a java applet is prob the best options, i am considering on learning java as it is similar to php OO or maybe the other way round, it looks familiar so maye i can get my hed around it :D, maye there is an open source java example , but frankly i've never seen one :| -Original Message- From: Burhan Khalid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 7:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] uploading entire directory, with or without compression ...

Re: [PHP] uploading entire directory, with or without compression...
Your clients can zip the folder, upload the zip file, and then you can on the server side use PclZip class to read the content Kenn Murrah wrote: Greetings. I have a web site which permits my clients to upload a file via php4, and it works great ... however, some clients have requested that they be able to upload entire directories from their windows or macintosh computers ... that is, to select the entire folder rather than doing one file at a time. Is this possible? And perhaps related: could a script be contructed to create an archive file on the client side which, in turn, could be uploaded? That would achieve the same effect by allowing the client to create an archive with multiple files.
