What is the best way to upload a folder to a website?

Question

I need an easy way to allow users to upload multiple files at once (ie I need to allow a user to upload a folder). I do not wish to put the burden of zipping on the user.

Answer 1

FTP? And if necs, wrap in Java Applet, ActiveX or whatever you want.

If not, although you don't want flash, SWFUpload is quite cool, you may want to reconsider it as a decent option.
