I’m using KNIME AP 4.3 and developing a workflow for the web portal. I want to ask the user to select a directory on their local drive (or alternatively, multiple files within the directory), and the workflow would then upload all files in the directory (or alternatively, all selected files in the directory) so the workflow can process them. The File Chooser widget looked promising, but it’s limited to selecting files or directories from a remote mountpoint.

The file upload node allows uploading a single file, but I haven’t been able to loop over each file in the directory and upload everything automatically. What’s the best way to do that? In more detail, the directory will contain a single xls file and multiple SDF’s and the info in the xls file will have to be added to the info in the SDF file, eventuall… > [@Reading data from Knime Server](https://forum.knime.com/t/38025): > > Hello Dear Knimers green_heart I am trying to execute simple workflow in Knime Server, where I have to read data from local file system(from my desktop) It is saying that the specified file does not exist Message from the server [image] The workflow in local workspace [MicrosoftTeams-image (1)] Thanks in advance innocent > [@Upload multiple files](https://forum.knime.com/t/41584): > > Hi all I want to know if there is a way to upload multiple files to the knime server that a user can just drag or drop.

This actually works until I click the “Close and Apply temporarily” button. Which results in a duplication of my uploaded data. I still cannot find a mistake in the … > [@Local File Browser Configuration In local](https://forum.knime.com/t/78481): > > Because the server doesn’t support folder upload functionality, now i am trying to ensure that configuration does the job atleast in the local machine. However the local file browser configuration also seems to support single file selection and not multiple files. The moment i select the folder and pass it to an excel reader, it doesn’t allow. Is there any way this can be achieved? The goal is that the user doesn’t get to see the logic and they only choose the folder in their local.

It is simple in the desktop version with either the files in folder option or the \*.xlsx but for server , the file upload widget doesn’t work as it doesn’t recognize the folder selection. How can i get this done? Thanks in advance, Rajat --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.knime.com/t/widget-to-upload-multiple-files/69854)._
