I've searched many times for a way to do this, but I've always come to the conclusion that I need learn FLASH - or embed a java applet of some sort.

Kind regards.

Hi.

This is not possible via any "standard" means.
HTTP requests allow you to send multiple files at once, but each must belong to a separate <input> box.
Seeing how that works, browsers require that each <input> box be filled in manually, one file at a time.

And because no decent browser will ever give a script the type of access it would require, you are forced to write client-side applications to do this.

Flash might be able to handle stuff like this. Don't know Flash well enough to say for sure. I do know it can send single files.
