Hello.

I use HFS as my webserver. It's a simple 600kb exe file and allows you to share files. Recently, a new version was released that allows files to be uploaded to a local directory on the host's PC (eg: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\uploads) however it's a pain to use if you need to upload many files. This is what the file upload page looks like:

HFS allows viewing of html pages so I was hoping there was some sort of html page I could download that allows someone to upload many files at once without having to click each one, one by one. This is also a problem because sometimes there is not enough file upload 'boxes'. I was hoping I could use something like this:

Which allows multiple files to be uploaded. The only problem with HFS is that it doesn't support server side extentions like php. Is there any sort of way I can do this, also without using FTP? Java? I'm not familiar with Java so I'm not sure if that is a server side extention? Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Ditch the stupid crappy webserver you're using and install apache, like everyone else uses. Then you can use PHP or whatever you want.

What you need is a client side solution. JavaScript will not work. Due to security concerns, a input type of file can not be modified by JavaScript. You would need to built a applet, such as Java or Flash, that can be trusted by the client.
