I have been able to perform an FTP upload of one file successfully, but I am wondering how I can do an entire folder containing several files?

&nbsp;

thanks,

John

Hi John,  
  
The easiest way is to just specify "_._" for the local file name (and leave the remot file name blank.) This will upload all files in the local directory.  
  
If you want to do more complicated selection of which files to upload, you may wish to look into FileSets and the Upload FileSet option. This may be overkill for your needs, though.  
  
Regards,

Thanks for the help on that it worked fine. Perhaps I am ignoring the obvious, but how do I direct all these files to a particular folder(directory).

thanks,

John

Hi John,  
  
If you’re uploading all of the files from one local directory to one remote directory, just use the “FTP Change Directory” action to change to the correct remote directory, then do the upload.

It worked great with your "Change directory" command.
