Searching User's Hard Drive...

[mitoziz]

Hi,

Does anyone know some Vb Script for searching the User's Hard Drive? What I want is some script which say, displays a list of the user's bitmap files and etc.

Anyone? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

Anyone ever tell you a web page should NOT mess with the user's stuff?

There are two ways to do something with the user's hard disk.

One: reading and setting cookies. User can prohibit cookies. Not what you want.

Two: using an http upload form lets the user browse through their own drive. User can choose to use it. Maybe what you want. Upload components often enable downloads too. Check out RFC1867.

A web page should NOT delve into the user's system on it's own. Not by HTML, not by script, not ever.

You CAN fake access, however, using script, redirecting the page to "file:///C:/" for Microsoft Windows machines.

Imagine!
