Thanks for the response.

I have a similar requirement for upload tooo. I want to make a Browse
button, which accepts folder locations, and uploads all the files in that
location. uploading the data from the file is fine... i can handle
but how to create a button, which accepts folder locations of both client
system and server system
?
