Thank you for your Tips, I was not aware of the load_site tool. I will have a look at it. (however it seems not to be zope based) I have been pondering drag an drop before without yet getting to a decent solution. However my real problem is that I must somehow initiate the file transfer by simulating the user imitated file selection/transfer. I am just wondering if I could have a html form with a prefilled input tag of type file and a "submit on load" JavaScript. I will try this tomorrow. Would be scary if it works.

I would like to be able to upload a batch of files to Zope. What I have in mind is something like having a textbox where I list the files to be uploaded from where some magical function reads the names and does the upload. Is this feasible or have I to stick with a single file per action approach?? Zope by itself cannot reach your client machine. It needs help by a program running on that machine.
Options:
* Can you not use "load_site" to upload the files?
* Recently, there has been a discussion about Drag&Drop into Zope. Instead of entering the name of file to upload in a textbox (quite tedious and error prone) you would simply drag&drop the files (much easier). It is not yet clear how to implement the D&D.
Search the archives for the thread.
