I have built a workbench that takes a shapefile (which isn't one file) as an input. I've published it to FME Server. How do I upload a shapefile(s) so that FME Server will process it?

You can Zip the files and upload the Zip file.

FME can read those as being a Shape file collection.

Hope this helps.


HI @deanrother,

If you are uploading the source dataset at run time the other option is under the 'Temporary Uploads' tab upload all files, then under the Selected Items header on the right-hand side remove all the files apart from the .shp extension:


The zip file upload seemed to only work sporadically until I replaced the Shapefile reader with a dynamic reader. Hence my confusion despite attempting both suggestions prior to posting. You pointed me in the right direction.
