Hi
does anyone know if files can be FTPed into matrix?
the reason I asked is that there may be some occasions when we need to upload multiple image files.
I know there's a work around of zipping a folder, then uploading it via the design area, then moving down into a folder - but I've found this clunky.
Or is there an interface now where multiple files can be uploaded?
Thanks
Tim
Under the tools menu at the top right, choose bulk file import tool - http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/tools/chapters/bulk-file-import-tool
To see what directory the bulk import is currently using expand the system management node in the asset tree and pick import tools manager.
You'll need to have access to the server & permissions to write files into this folder to be able to use it.
See the post by Nic at http://forums.squizsuite.net/index.php?showtopic=11245 that uses a bit of jQuery - there is also a link to the GitHub repo. I've tried it and it works great.
Additionally there is an older post by jsmith at http://forums.squizsuite.net/index.php?showtopic=8979 but not sure if the code would be as up to date with newer Matrix/JSAPI versions. Haven't personally tried this one.

Yep, I am partial to my Matrix Multi Upload script: https://github.com/nnhubbard/matrix-upload
I feel it works really well, and includes feature like multiple file upload, progress bars, etc.
