WebUtil - Upload Entire Directory

Is it possible to upload an entire directory using WebUtil (loading all of the files in the directory into the database? Anyone out there done anything like this?
Thanks.

Hello,
Yes, you can download everything, but one by one.
Firstly get the list of the directory files:

Then use the Webutil_File_Transfert.Client_To_DB() function to upload each file in your database.

How to upload entire Directory / Multiple Files

Dear Friends,
I am trying to design a very user friendly servlet page for uploading multiple files from a PC to Unix server. I need some suggestion on what java library or ftp client to use for this.
Details:
There are about 8 files to upload (sized ranging from 200kb to 60MB, The files are a mix of binary and ascii data). I don't want the user to have to click on the browse form button on the webpage 8 times to select the files. In fact all of the files will reside in a directory with a barcode as the name.
I would like to have the user simply select the directory and submit the form. I will then have a parser that is automatically invoked to parse these files, verify the formats and use the data to populate the next page that is shown to the user for data confirmation.
The hardest part for me is figuring out what tool to use for the upload section. Any suggestion on what tool (FTP client library, etc.) would be highly appreciated.
In the forum I found lots of examples for uploading single files but none for uploading entire directory or just multiple files. Am I asking the wrong question? Are there any example out there that I can look?
I do not favor using a full blown ftp tool on the side because I think it increases the chance for user errors. (miss selecting a file, wrong directory, ascii vs binary).
Thanks,

There are two ways to upload multiple files:
1. Package them all into a zip file on the client, upload that file, unpackage them on the server.
2. Upload one file at a time.
If you're asking about servlets then you can't do number 1 because you can't access the files on the client. And you've said you don't want to have the client upload the files one at a time. From this it follows that you need some logic on the client that can either zip and upload the files, or upload the files one at a time, without requiring user intervention. The Java form of client-side logic from a website is an applet. In this case you would have to sign the applet, since an applet can't access the client's file system without the client's permission.

Upload Entire Directory Using CFFILE

I need to write an application that will allow the user to
select all the contents of a directory on their local hard drive
(or just point to the directory) and upload all the files in that
directory to a location on a the web server. The user should not
have to point to a file, just select all the contents at once.
Does anyone know how to to so this using CFFILE? We are using
ColdFusion 8.
Thanks in Advance!!

The files you are uploading are on the client computer.
ColdFusion has
*no* interaction with the client computer at all. All
communications are
between client and WEB SERVER. File uploads are handled by
the client
computer, using the provisions of the HTTP protocol, which -
as implemented
by a web browser - only allows for single files to be
uploaded, via each
file input control on a form.
If you want multiple files to be uploaded from a client
computer using a
single control, you need to use something other than a web
browser (as
suggested by someone else: some manner of applet, perhaps
embedded in an
HTML document).
The applet will pass the data to the web server, and if the
request is for
a mime type that the web server has been configured to pass
to ColdFusion
(usually a CFM or a CFC file), then the web server will pass
the request to
ColdFusion, which will deal with it however you tell it to.
The problem isn't getting the files to CF; it's getting them
to the web
server in the first place. CF's got nothing to do with your
problem (or,
intrinsically, its solution).

How to indicate an entire directory to upload?

Hi,
My JSP application must allow that users can indicate an entire directory to upload, not single files. Any suggestion using JSP, AJAX or Javascript?
For single files it´s easy, I can use <input type="file" ... >
I can´t ask users to zip the directory and obtain a single file.
Xks,
Miguel

Hi DC
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question.
You should be able to do this using a 'Source Distribution' as described below:
- Right click on 'Build Specifications' and select 'New' - 'Source Distribution'
- Provide a name
- Add your files to 'Always included' under 'Source Files'
- Under 'Destinations' select 'Preserve disk hierarchy' and ensure that 'Directory' is selected as the 'Destination type'
When building an installer your can then choose to include your source distribution and it will be installed to a location of your choosing.
Hope this helps.

Uploading Entire Directories

Hello All,
I am looking for a way to upload entire directories to the server. I have various dirs full of pictures (like 25+ for each dir) So I dont want to make the user click <input type="file"> 25+ times.
What I would really like is have a text field where the user can enter the directory they wish to upload and then hit submit and have all the files be uploaded. Is there any way to do this without using an Applet? Any other solution would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Matt

no, unless you can ask the user to zip the directory first and upload the zip file

Copy entire directory using JSCH

Hi,
Have someday tried to copy entire directory to remote host using Jcraft's Jsch? Do they support something like scp -rp? I couldn't find it in their example. I guess, I'll have to copy all the files recursively?
Does anybody know?
Thanks,

Firefox won't open following update. Can't open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line

I'm running Firefox on a Windows 7 machine. Firefox won't open following the latest update. I've read the help articles and it seems like I need to create a new profile because my settings have likely been corrupted. I'm unable to open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line. I've tried the following commands in the command line:
firefox -p
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
Nothing happens with either command.
I'm also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help article Re Virtual Browsing features possibly causing a problem. The article said to check the virtualization setting in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went thru all of the settings menus in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I didn't see anything that looked like 'virtualization" settings, so I assumed that this doesn't apply to me.
If you have any ideas, I'd sure appreaciate your expertise!!

hello arcandl, when firefox isn't launching after you double-click on the shortcut this is sometimes also a sign of malware being active on a system.
you might want to try running a scan with some different other security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] which are specialised in removing adware and browser hijackers.

How to install an entire directory structure and files with the LabVIEW installer

I think I may be missing something on how to do this - preserve a file directory structure in the LabVIEW build process.
Is there an easy way to distribute an entire directory structure (multiple directory levels/text files) and have the LabVIEW build process properly preserve and install them? I included a directory in my build specification but it completely flattened the file structure and then so when the installer builds it, the resulting structure in the /data directory is flattened as well. I'd prefer not to go through each file (~100) and setup a specific target location. Is there an easy way to preserve the file structure in the build process/installer process that I am missing (maybe a check box that I didn't see or an option setting somewhere)?

Uploading a Directory

Hi All,
I am new to Flash. I want to upload an directory into a Web
server. Will it be possible using Flash. If possible. Could you
some information about the same.
Thanking you.
With best regards
Aruna gulla

Thanks. I'm currently using APEX as the front end. Ths only procedures I saw dealt with hard-coding a directory (see below). I just need to loop thru my emp table (to get the file name based on emp id) and upload the file from the user defined directory in the DB.
/* This needs to be done by SYS */
EXEC dbms_java.grant_permission( 'YOUR_SCHEMA', 'java.io.FilePermission','d:\datapump','read' );
/* Where YOUR_SCHEMA is your schema name and d:\datampump is your directory */
/* This needs to be done my your schema */
CREATE TABLE directory_list
filename VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),
directory_name VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
);

Copying entire directory

Ok..so I want to copy the entire html directory out of flash from a 3750 stack. How do I do the entire contents of the directory without doing on file at a time? Can you copy an entire directory to tftp?

you can create a .TAR file with all the required files and then download the one .TAR file from the router.
please see the following link for creating a .TAR file:

Uploading a directory (not file)

folks... i have one question. Is it possible to upload a directory (that has other directories, files in it) using RMI. Right now i am able to upload one single file as
public void upload(String fileName, byte[] buffer);
what i am doing is i get file name, i create a file with that name and write the byte buffer[] in it.
But i am wondering how can i upload a whole file? any ideas

zip it first and send it. Have you ever been able to upload or download folders? That's not how file systems work....

Un-Lock entire directory of locked files

I just got a new macbook pro, and when I popped my old secondary hard drive in, I notice that half of my mp3 files are now shown with a little lock next to them. I can manually un lock them one at a time, but I'm a professional DJ, and I have thousands of files.
can anyone explain how to unlock an entire directory in one fell swoop? I didn't lock them to begin with, so this is aggravating.
I cannot save bpm or cue points to files while they're locked. My serato scratch live software will also not save overviews while they're locked.
Thanks!

Thanks! over an hour and 3 transfers with apple care, and they still have me on hold. This fixed it.. I'm just waiting to tell the "genius" on the other end of the phone what fixed it!
lol
Thanks Niel.
