asp.net MVC browse for folder path

Question

I am trying to work out what is the best way in an MVC3 form to have an input on a form where you browse for a folder path, not a file.

If this was for a file I would do something like this, but what is the equivalent for a folder?

MODEL
public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }
VIEW
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.File, new { type = "file" })

my code will iterate over all files in the folder, selecting .JPEG ones and uploading them into a CMS. The code will run in an intranet were the server has access to the unc filepath specified. — BikerP

There is not an HTML input for folder (only for individual files).
