Mass Upload?

Hey guys, I've been using the File Manager for both the Buzztouch server and buzztouch 2.0 to manage my files but now I'm creating an app that uses about 300 different PDF documents and uploading them one by one is becoming a very slow and repetitive process. I was wondering if Mass Upload or multi-upload is being looked at as a new feature? Until then I'll continue to upload one click at a time Thanks again for creating something as awesome as buzztouch -Koopa

For the self-hosted BT Server, it "appears" that you might be able to FTP the files into your server. * Find the App ID from the Core Properties page in your control panel * FTP into your BT Server * CD to files/applications/<appid>/document * Upload the files I haven't tried it, but all the files I see in File Manager are located in that folder. This won't work for an app hosted at buzztouch.com. Mark

Hi @Alfrea, I think all we're saying is that the FTP method I outlined above would allow you to upload stuff into the file manager for that particular app, vs. having to to it one by one via the control panel. There is no "Mass Uploader" tool or application. Any FTP program should work just fine! Mark
