checking client side file existence

[jasvinder]

Hi,

i had a proble where i want everybody help in resolving the problem.

i had one .aspx page who will check for a particuler file existence on client machine. If the file exists on the client machine then it will upload it otherwise a msg will be shown to the user. But i am not able to check the file existence on the client machine, which i am trying to do with ASP.net.

If anybody has an idea pls let me know(in any technolgy). I am open to use Javascript/Jscript or any other but how to do that i am not able to find it.

Looking forward for a small light from anyone in a dark room.

I don't think could do this without registering a COM component in the client machine.

Think about it, would you like any old ASP or ASPX page you request to have the ability to access your hard-drive?

So in the past I've downloaded a DLL to the client machine, which must be authorized by the user and then scripted that.

hi,

i am able to figure out the problem for checking client side file existance which i want to share with u all but there is one major problem about browser secruity which will have to be removed in order to use it. I think we can use the solution for an intranet application not for the web.

THe only problem is changing client browser setting through application for which i dont have any idea.

thanks
