Directory Upload instead of FileUpload

Hi,
I know there is a FileUpload UI element and this works fine.
In the same way I want to be able to select a certain (local) directory. Is there a way to do this?
Regards,
Bert

Security restrictions on the client side limit the amount of access to the filesystem. Therefore in plain HTML you can't get a file listing for a directory, nor can you even upload more than one file at a time.
With 7.01 we have AcfUpDownload. It is a Java Applet that allows greater access to the file system. While it can do multiple file uploads and downloads, it doesn't have any functionality to scan a directory and return a list of files. Nor is there any file open/save dialog. It was designed for DMS (Document Management System) Check-in and Check-out. Primarily in 7.01 it can mostly be used for check-out and and check-in from the checked-out location.
In 7.02, we will enhance AcfUpDownload to include a file open/save dialog. Then the user could manually select all files in a directory and upload them. However this function isn't available yet as 7.02 won't be available until next year.
In the mean time, you might consider using Adobe Flex as a Flash Islands within your Web Dynpro ABAP application. I've got an eLearning on how to use Flash Islands as a multiple file uploader:

i downloaded an update from creative suite 5.5. to 6.0 and then switched computers for a few months. now I am back using the original computer and it looks like all of those Adobe applications (both 5.5 and 6.0) have disappeared. Maybe a "trial" was uploaded instead of the actual updates? Anyway, i just want to get the applications back onto my computer. i tried to enter the serial numbers on my original packaging but systems side error message from Adobe says they were already "redeemed" (which makes sense bc I already downloaded the updates. Apparently there is no phone customer service for Creative Suite anymore. ARRGGG. Any and all suggestions welcome!

there is no update from 5.5. to 6.0.
you could have upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0, but you would know that because you paid money.
assuming you paid no money for a 6.0 upgrade, you still have your 5.5 license. uninstall clean and reinstall 5.5 per http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Directory upload is it possible in java?

Actually my client Requirement is Upload a directory with a Minimum of 1GB data using Jsps and Java in a Web Base Application. But I found most of the libraries in java supports file upload only
Can you please help me in this regard. Is there any libraries for Directory upload that to Minimum of 1GB. if any please give me details. and my final question is Does java supports directory upload ?

Many ways,
1. Take backup of the existing data in any UTF-8 locale.
2. Perform the Data import in any UTF-8 locale.
3. Verify the contents through the ldapsearch commands.
Same steps applies to any interfaces like, CLI or UI.
3. a Importing using Command line,
Before doing so you need to be sure that does file contains different locale data, i.e., NON_ASCII
The ldif file must be stored in UTF-8 encoding, and set your server locale to UTF-8 to run the below command.
$ dsconf import -h host1 -p 1389 /local/file/example/demo1.ldif \
ou=People,dc=example,dc=com3.b Using Directory Service Control Center Interface web based ui.
3.c Using ldapjdk API, using JNDI,JSP technologies, for more information see http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/TOC.html
3.d Using Protocol based import
Hope it helps

Download A directory uploaded on a web server...

We want to down load a directory which is uploaded on a web server... plz if any body can suggest how to do this thrtough servlets or any other method...

Check out the java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream and java.util.zip.ZipEntry classes.
Set the content type of your servlet response to "application/zip" and create the ZipOutputStream using the response output stream.
Then you can create ZipEntries for each file and send them to the ZipOutputStream. Naming the zip entry with DIRECTORYNAME/FILENAME will create the appropriate directory structure.
For each entry, position the new ZipEntry using the putNextEntry(ZipEntry) class of ZipOutputStream then use the write(byte[] b, int off, int len) method to write the file data. You can load the files into a series of byte arrays beforehand if you like.

Help in mutlipart post FIle Upload using Apache FileUpload

are you calling the writeFile method trying to pass a String instead of a File object?

Organize iTunes file list by Directory Structure instead of artist/album?

Hello, I have searched for different audio players for os x which might have this feature but so far have had no luck. What I'm looking for is a feature similar to that of foobar2000 for win32 where I can organize my music by directory structure without the iTunes automatic organization by artist/album. Is there a way I can accomplish this in iTunes with some sort of xml config or hidden options? Thanks.

You don't have to have iTunes move music around on your hard drive (Preferences>Advanced>General, uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library) but I suspect that's not what you're asking. You can't automatically view music from within iTunes by directory structure. iTunes organizes by ID3 tags ("mp3 tags"). You could, I suppose, spend a lot of time replicating your directory structure by using folders and playlists within iTunes but you'd probably have to do it all by hand.
You could check out Doug's Scripts to see if there are some scripts that might help.

Directory upload

I have been trying to make a directory chooser but I made a
multiple files one. I need to have a directory chooser. Do you know
whether it is possible that to be done in Flex?
Thanks

I have the same question. Have you got the answer yet? I
think whether it's supported by Flex is dependent on the Flash
player.

Pls help, (Access is denied) error when file upload to a local directory

Hi, I've been stuck on this for the past few days and I am quite new at developing web application.
Here is the problem that I am having, I don't know why it keeps on saying "access is denied" when I can see that the file is uploaded to the directory. I am developing a JSP page file upload using Jakarta Fileupload v1.2. However, every time when I try to upload a file to a local path (e:\temp) on the server I keep getting this problem. I even try looking into the server.policy file on glassfish but no luck, your help is appreciated thanks
Here's the log after file upload, note: I can see the file being uploaded in the e:\temp but why does it keep telling me the error?
I'm using netbean 5.5.1 and glassfish v2

Fileupload v1.2. However, every time when I try to
upload a file to a local path (e:\temp)Hi there,
Typically in a Web Container, applications are deployed to a folder called webapps (this is the case in Tomcat, I'm not sure about Glassfish)
So the directory structure is something like C:/Tomcat/webapps/MyApplication/other folders......
When you upload a file , you normally can upload it only to a folder under your application and not to a folder outside the application.
First you can try to upload the file to a folder under the webapp and not outside the webapp, once you get that to work --- then internally in the Servlet you can write code to save the file to any directory on the server, but the Servlet must be located on the server.

You should have commons-fileupload.jar in common/lib or in ur applications lib directory( I mean WEB-INF/lib). Dont forget to set the build path to commons-fileupload.jar in Eclipse.
Go to
project > properties > Java Build Path > libraries > click on Add External Jars button > choose ur commons-fileupload.jar file > click on OK

File Upload Pluggable Java Component / Java Bean

Dear Colleague,
I integrated the File Upload java bean into one of my Forms 9i forms. I also had it up and running (!!!), but after I rebooted the machine, I no longer receive the File Upload dialog window as I did originally. When I press the button which starts the File Upload, it never displays the window to select a file. My trigger is as follows:
begin
     /* Initialize the Java Bean */
     FileUploader.init('DOCU_BLOCK.FILE_UPLOADER','LOAD_CALLBACK_TRIGGER');
     /* Make sure the file is compressed on upload */
     FileUploader.setCompressed(true);
     /* Do the load to the c:\rolic\RKMS_documents\ directory on the server */
     FileUploader.UploadFile (:PARAMETER.file_destination);
/* Error Handling */
exception
when FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
message (FileUploader.GetError);
end;
I have the "uploadclient.jar" file in my folder: C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java
I list the "uploadclient.jar" file in the forms config file, formsweb.cfg as follows:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar, uploadclient.jar, RKMS_images.jar
and I reference the uploadserver.jar in the default.env file as part of the CLASSPATH as follows:
CLASSPATH=c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\debugger.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\ewt3.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\share.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\utj90.jar;C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java\UploadServer.jar
=========================================================
- Why did this work before I rebooted and now no longer???
- Any tips? Ideas?
=========================================================
The uploadclient.jar file also successfully loads as shown in the Java Console:

HI,
I'm facing nearly same problem.
When i press a button in my form to enable client to select image from there local computer, following code executes ( WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED)
declare
     exSetup EXCEPTION;
     hButton ITEM := Find_Item('UPLOAD.SELECT');
begin
if (:upload.output_dir is null) then
MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error: A output directory on the middle tier must be specified');
raise exSetup;
end if;
FileUploader.UploadFile(:UPLOAD.output_dir);
/* (:UPLOAD is a control block and output directory is a text field char 1000 having initial property = D:\IMAGE) */
exception
When FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
     MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error During Upload: '||FileUploader.getError);
When exSetup then
null;
end;
There is no compiliation error.
Runtime error is " Error During Upload: Desitnation directory does not exists or is not writeable ".
Infact destination directory D:\IMAGE exists and is readable/writable to any one ??
Any Help possible

Having trouble with FileUploader

I am having trouble with the FileUploader control.   The use case is to upload a picture for a user to display on a user profile page.
The first thing I did was take the code from the SAPUI5 DemoKit and modify the uploadUrl to a local directory in my project. This works on the DemoKit and I can see that my file gets uploaded to the ../../../../../uploads directory on the sapui5.ondemand site.   But when I try it locally on my project, it fails to post to the directory.
I figured I would skinny it down to the least amount of code to test it.
var layout = new sap.ui.commons.layout.MatrixLayout();
layout.setLayoutFixed(false);
var oUpload = new sap.ui.commons.FileUploader( {
mimeType: "image,text",
fileType: "jpg,png,gif",
uploadUrl:      "../images/devices",
name:           "Uploader",
width:      '500px',
buttonText:   "..",
tooltip:    "File Name",
value:          '',
uploadOnChange: true
layout.createRow( oUpload );
return layout;
When it does the POST, I get a 405 Method Not Allowed error on my local server.   Is there something that needs to be configured on the server-side?
I tried putting in an .xsaccess file in the upload folder and parent folder(s) but it does not seem to help.
I have seen some of the other posts on SCN:
This one claims we need a server-side servlet to handle the file.   FileUploader
This post has a similar 405 error down in the comments: Import text file from JS to XSJS
So the questions are:
1) Can someone confirm if I can simply write an image to the folder like in the DemoKit? What is needed to make this work?
2) If I cannot write to the folder directly, can someone share their "FileUpload.xsjs" code logic to help me get jumpstarted?
3) What have I missed with the FileUploader?
Thank you,
Jim Giffin
Edit - my current environment is HANA DB 1.00.70.386119, SAPUI5 points to the sapui5.hana.ondemand.com version which is currently 1.20.6, but I have checked out openUI5 1.20.8.
Message was edited by: Jim Giffin
I also failed to mention this is a Developer instance on AWS.

Hi Jim,
answer from discussion you mentioned is correct. You need some server-side handler that will take care of the file and uploads it to directory.
Demokit example does not point to directory "upload", but it is a relative url address.
If you type sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/test-resources/sap/ui/commons/demokit/../../../../../upload
you will see that it is actually url address sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/upload which points to some server-side handler.
For you second question, this could be what you are looking for - Upload data to HANA table with SAPUI5 FileLoader and HANA Extended Services
Best regards,
Peter

Uploading videos to YOUTUBE doesn't work anymore

HI I upgraded my flash player to the latest adobe flash for
windows xp,
and now I can't upload any videos to youtube.. It used to
work, until now.

When you upload the site is has nothing to do with iWeb and people who work for the hosting companies and say that iWeb is the problem or is rubbish do not have a clue what they are talking about. They use it as an excuse because they don't understand what they are doing.
What folder do you have to upload your site to on the server? Is it called "public_html", or "htdocs" or something like this? If so, then in the directory/path, where some can leave it blank, you can enter public_html or htdocs or whatever file you upload to on your server. This should then work.
Your other option of course, is not to use the iWeb built in ftp, but to select publish to a local folder and then download Cyberduck - a dedicated ftp programme and use this to upload your site. If you use Cyberduck, then you can connect directly with your server and you can see exactly where all your site files are being uploaded to and exactly what folder on your server you have to upload to. If you use iWeb ftp, then you are working blind really and just hoping for the best.
Either try inserting the name of your folder in the directory/path section or publishing to a local folder and using Cyberduck to upload instead.

Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
###Mapped drive letters don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a hardlink:
mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
dir .\test_sharedir
#Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
#File Not Found
UNC paths don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a symlink:
mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
dir .\test_dirunc
#Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
#File Not Found
I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
Are my assumptions above correct?
We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\). I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
"s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server]. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Mandy,
The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks. I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
You will see the following:
I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD. The CIFS server service does not appear
to operate like this.
1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
Thanks for your time,
Matt Brown
[UPDATE]
Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

Uploading an image to a servlet with out html form

Hello,
I had a look around the forum and could not find an answer to my question.
I am trying to unload an image that is in a byte array to a servlet. the image is on the mobile phone. the mobile phone does not have html form to upload the picture.
Is there any other way of uploading instead of using html form to invoke the servlet. It is just the connection bit that is confusing me. When the servlet is invoked then it can open an inputstream and take in the image.
I hope this is clear and that some one else has done it.
thanks
martin

search here and/or search google for "send byte array to servlet"
it's certainly easy to find as far as i can tell
