Uploading files from a client folder through a Asp .Net web application

Question

I know that most of the modern browsers do not support 'Folder level' selection because of obvious security risks. But, I know they support 'File level' selection. So, if I select a file from a client side folder, truncate the file path to get the folder path, and upload files from that folder using

DirectoryInfo

or some other class, behind the scenes? I am currently using ActiveX to achieve this functionality, but would like to move away from it. If this is not possible what are best alternatives to achieve it?

Answer 1

modern browsers do support directory uploads.

<p>Directory: <input type="file" webkitdirectory mozdirectory /></p>
