Directory upload

Hi

I need to know is it possible to upload whole directory to the server with Rails? Is there any good tutorials for that? How I could chose a directory address and send printed it to user... If i use javascript for printing file address from input id like this: document.getElementById('inputFile').value it won't print whole directory, only file name. Is there way to print whole directory with javascript or rails?

I think the only way to do this is to zip the directory and then post it. Rails does not have access to the local hard-drive as such, and this make it difficult to develop applications that mirror, replicate of build local directories. There are ways around this, however. Here are a couple of file upload plugins.
