Isn’t there a way to upload a folder of dicom files from the web?

You mean like opening the UI [http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/](http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/), click on the upload button and upload a file or folder ?

What about including a [message](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message) in your post ?
Then, what about reading [this documentation](https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/users/support.html#required-minimal-quality-of-a-message-in-the-orthanc-users-discussion-forum) to properly format the message.

At this link
[http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/](http://localhost:8042/ui/app/#/)
no upload button appears but that json
```auto

That’s because you don’t have [Orthanc Explorer 2](https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/plugins/orthanc-explorer-2.html).
However, there is an upload button in the Orthanc default user interface at [http://localhost:8042](http://localhost:8042)

Installing OE2 is very easy. Just [read the documentation](https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/plugins/orthanc-explorer-2.html#how-to-get-it).

```auto
"OrthancExplorer2" : {
"Enable": true,
"IsDefaultOrthancUI": true

The error message seems quite clear. Have you tried upgrading Orthanc?

ok, I reinstall orthanc from LSB binary and explorer2 work perfectly, great!!
but I have a plugin old version
in this code there are not all
```auto
Replacing the package from the service by the LSB binaries
If you’re stuck with an old version of Orthanc, you may try to replace the binaries by the LSB binaries. Note that there might be some inconsistencies between the plugins version and you should do that at your own risk.
This can be done with this sequence of commands:
$ sudo service orthanc stop
$ sudo wget https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/linux-standard-base/orthanc/1.12.4/Orthanc --output-document /usr/sbin/Orthanc
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/Orthanc
$ sudo rm -f /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/*.so
$ sudo wget https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/linux-standard-base/orthanc/1.12.4/libServeFolders.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libServeFolders.so
$ sudo wget https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/linux-standard-base/orthanc/1.12.4/libModalityWorklists.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libModalityWorklists.so
$
$ sudo wget https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/linux-standard-base/orthanc-dicomweb/1.16/libOrthancDicomWeb.so --output-document /usr/share/orthanc/plugins/libOrthancDicomWeb.so
$ ...
$ sudo service orthanc restart
```
this are my plugin:

I am sorry but I don’t understand precisely what you mean. Do I infer that you need a plugin that is not available as an LSB binary?
Sébastien and Alain will correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the plugin API is very stable and, as long as a plugin is LSB _or_ designed for your system (i.e. having the rights libs available), you should be able to use it.
Can you please elaborate on your current issue? (ChatGPT is great at translating, by the way)
