One solution (this may have already been mentioned on this thread; I haven't read it all) would be to let users upload a .zip (or .tar.gz) file over HTTP, and have your server uncompress it and (optionally) create a directory structure matching the contents of that .zip. The 'gallery' image gallery software does .zip file uploading, and it's quite handy. Just a thought, joel -- [ joel boonstra | gospelcom.net ]
