Thanks ryanb31. That answers my question. But I was wondering if there is no way even to filter-out the files before uploading it. The files are there in the context right? Why can't we cancel the uploads for the files which are not required from the all the user selected files?

There is no security issue here. Only those who have admin rights will do this upload and that too once in a while. But I need to implement this feature. I have a working desktop version of this. Now I need to have it online so that it can be done from any location.
Since there is no control to select a folder, I can ask the users to select all the files in the folder. I don't mind loop through the selected files and filter it out. So that only the filtered files will be uploaded. My only intention is to send the files to the server anyway.

It is not possible for someone to look at the XML, find the file-names and pick those files from the large folder manually. I just need to automatize this.

Sorry for asking for a weird solution.

ryanb31, I have an XML which contains several item records. Each item record has an image file-name. So I need to find the image file-names from the XML first and these are files I need to upload to the server. Either I need to read the XML from the client-side for file-names to upload the images right-away. Or if it is not possible, I need to upload the XML first to the server, process it there and then upload the images accordingly. The images folder would be a huge folder which may contain more than 15,000 files. So I just need to pick only the files which are present in the XML file to upload.

Hope you understood this time.
