selecting a directory

Is there a switch to request-file, or another function that allows on to select a directory as opposed to a file? -- Graham Chiu

Try slash-dot Graham. (: ... request-file/file %public/. -- Carl Read

Hi Carl, This still only allows me to select a file as opposed to a directory. In the meantime, I've copied some code off an old version of Anton's dir-utils and used his 'cd function in my ftp-dirupload.r script. -- Graham Chiu

Ah - sorry, I see what you mean now. You want a request-dir function. Yeah, I think you'll have to find or write one. Entering a %. in the empty file-name box will do the trick, but that's hardly elegant.
