VPF data structure and FME server
We are exploring the possibility of using FME server in our workflow. We are currently running FME Desktop. One of our primary data inputs is in VPF data structure. With Desktop, we simply choose the entire directory when starting a project. However, I'm not sure how this would be accomplished with Server. It seems a specific file needs to be uploaded to server, rather than a set of directories and sub-directories such as VPF data. Has anybody ran into this before?

I believe we have found a solution for this. Having the data in the same location on the server for each project, we were able to set the VPF input parameters as private. These parameters were linked to another public parameter where the user would input which dataset to use for their project. This eliminates the need for the user to actually upload the data.
That's a good solution. You can also upload entire directories as a zip file, and this may well have worked in this scenario.
