Is there a secure way to allow the user's browser to select a client folder and to upload all files in that folder using ajaxuploader without further selections or prompting? Thank you!

No. There is no way to upload a file without user explicitly browse and select exactly that file.
Thanks

Can the user select multiple files at one time for subsequent uploading?

Still no. :) Unlike the previous two questions that is not possible at all, this is however technically possible with a third party plug-in based object, which is usually implemented as a Flash object because Flash is already installed on most computers. It will still fall back to the standard one file a time if Flash is not installed. This is not implemented on our uploader yet, we are looking into and see whether we can do that in our next release.
In any case, please keep in mind that as long as you go with regular Web pages, the browser will make very sure that users are clearly prompted about each file that is uploaded from their computer to your server. Otherwise it would be considered a serious security hole of that browser. So if you are thinking about skipping anything in this process, then you should look for other solutions --- it can be a standalone application that runs on user’s computer that automatically upload files, or an ActiveX control or Java Applet (either way they must be digitally signed) that can be launched within a browser.
Thanks
