Save File From Client Machine to Web Server

[aeMadhavan]

Hi,

Without using fileupload control, what is the way to store a file from client machine to web server.

FYI, a text box has the path the client machine file.

Thanks

Well, ASP.NET web applications (or websites) interact with the user through a web browser.

Web browsers display HTML...and this HTML is generated by ASP.NET based on your C# or VB.NET server code.

The FileUpload control is rendered as an HTML <input type="file"> and the browser implementation accesses the user's operating system to allow the user to browse-to and select a file that they want to upload.


So, how are you supposed to save a file on the client's computer (which may be Linux, or a Mac OS, or Windows....or anything) without using the FileUpload control???

You can't do this.

Unless you're developing a Silverlight application...a nd even then you're still going to have to use an Open File Dialogue ....which does much the same thing.
