Hello,

I am aware of the FileUpload Control that allows you to upload one file at a time and the input(File) html control that allows you to upload multiple files selected in a folder. My question is: Is it possible to select a folder (that has subfolders with files in each subfolder) and upload the whole folder directly? If not, is it possible to get the location of one of the files in one subfolder and uploading the remaining as well? (the tree structure in the subfolders remains the same). I am trying to do the second option, but am not able to reach to a possible solution as of yet.

No, you can't do that, one possible solution is to compress your folder as zip and upload it to server then from server you can extract zip file.

What about the second option? Even that is not possible?

Yes this is possible by looping, and in this case you have to do some work on server side, you have to pass folder structure along with form and on server side when form submitted save file as folder structure.

Ok in regards to your solution, is there a decompression function that I could use that would uncompress the zipped file and then display it like a file explorer on my web page?
