    Hosting and web page problems, ask for help!!!

    Dear friends,

    I had host a server, and i also had a webpage that allow the user to click on the "browse" button to search the needed file. But the "browse" button actually only "browse" the computer or the user.

    Code:
    <html>
<body>
<form name="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="">
  Browse your file
	   <input name="file_read" type="file" id="file_read">
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="OK">
     
	 </form>
</body>
</html>
    Is it possible to "browse" the host computer?

    Best Regards.

      This HTML form is going to execute in client browser, once you put the input type as file it will browse the files on local computer where you executing the web page, You can't access the Hosting server local files with this form. if you want you can access the files available under a directory in your web root. but not from this html form.

              Once you uploaded your files to the Hosting server you have to give the download links to the users to download that files.You can't browse the Hosting server Directories from a <input type="file"> element.
              google it for find out some download scripts using PHP.
