Request for directory from user

[ShurikA]

Is there any possibility to request from user for a directory (Not file), but not by: <input type="file">?

No, the only way for a user to choose something on their local machine is to use the file input.

OK, so what is the convenient way (for user) to do it?

Well, the convenient way is to use a file input field, and then use Javascript to try and parse out the path, if Javascript even has access to that. If you do that and hit submit, even if you just want the directory name, the user will still have to upload whatever file they chose. I'm not sure what the point of this is though, even if you get the path of a directory on the client's machine, you can't do anything with that, you would not be able to, for example, write a file to that directory. So I'm not sure what you're using this for. You could always just have the user type in a directory name.
