About Uploading multiple files and giving the filename to fileupload control programatically in asp.net

My client has one requirement. He wants to upload all the text files from folder "D:/MyFolder/" by clicking on a button. So I tried It but I am having the problems. Here is the code:

C l o s e ( ) You cant really have your server just grab files off a clients machine legitimately. This is what the file upload control is for. Generally the client initiates the upload.

Otherwise, without the multiple attribute it is tedious to upload files since you can't ' S a v et h ef i l et od e s i r e dl o c a t i o n( U p l o a dF i l e ) shift / control click all files. You will save the file's in the E n httpfilecollection dI f and simply loop through and use the .SaveAs property to save to your destination file. I can provide same code if you need..

I have tried to use your code as you suggested but I am not able to select multiple files. In fact first I got the warning that multiple should be followed by = sign. So I changed it to multiple = "true". But still I am not able to select multiple files. Vishal May 12 at 14:34 What browser are you using? Chris Buckler May 12 at 20:30 I am using IE 10 Vishal May 12 at 21:15 Not sure what to tell you good sir, I just re copied back in the code and I can shift + multiple files into the upload control.
