How to access drive/file on client machine from a web application?

[Akino877]

Hello,

I have a problem when trying to access a file on a local client system from a web application running on the local client system.

The web application I am running can access a file on a
mapped network drive ok. But it cannot access a file on
the local client system's C: drive or on a thumb drive that is attached to the local client system.

I wonder if someone could please help me with this?

Thank you,

Akino

For the protection of the end user, web browsers do not let websites access the client's computer.

If you want to let the users upload a file to your web server, use the FileUpload control.
