Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to any ftp site(s) using the URL textbox, not necessary the internet but your LAN. 2. If you're not logged in, then login. 3. File --> Upload File... 4. The pop-up file picker window appear. 5. Try to upload a folder instead of a file. Actual Results: Not possible to upload a folder, only a file can be upload. Expected Results: Should provide a way to upload a folder with multiple files in it instead of manually going over to the server to create a folder and manually use the browser to upload each file.
Severity --> Normal. Should I make it be a RFE instead?

OS --> ALL Hardware --> ALL Thanks for pointing that out. Forgot that browser's user agent was used to determine the O/S at the time of bugzilla filling. Hardware, ewww, doesn't really apply to this.

Saw this from bug #192570 about "downloading a directory at once". These two bugs now have one thing in common. Summary --> added "directory" to it for improved bugzilla search.

*** Bug 262463 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
From bug 262463: You can select multiple files but only the first will be uploaded. So, I'd like to add "Unable to upload multiple files" to that wishlist.
Um, we now have 2 different bugs. This one is about a folder while the other is about files but both concept are the same when we think of it. Darin, should we tie in these two bugs together as one bug? If so then I can update the summary to include the multiple files...
Attempted to send email to Darin and Benc about comment #8.
Well, haven't heard from Darin and Benc and it wouldn't be right to keep bugs be held hostage any longer. But I got the answer I need to know when Benc verified that bug #245908 is a duplicate of this bug. So updating the bug summary.
Summary: FTP - Unable to upload a folder / directory → FTP - Unable to upload folder(s)/director(ies) and/or multiple files
This same bug for firefox is bug #215673
