List files located on the local machine?

[sharapov]

Is it possible to list dirrectories and files located on the client;s machine? In other words I want for my users to see a list of files located for example on their machine in the dirrectory C:\Windows\Temp\

Is it possible? If yes how can it be done

If all you want to do is show the client their own files, you can do that with a simple link:

<a href="file://c:/windows/temp">Show files</a>

Not sure I have the syntax right, but it doable. Joke sites used to use such links to claim they could 'see your hard-drive' and some shady security sites used it as a ruse to scare people into purchasing their products.

I'll try it with VBCode to see if it works...

[url="file://c:/windows/temp"]Show files[/url]

Seems to work. Of course, you will need to use a different link depending on what operating system the user migh have if you are targetting a broad audience.

If you want to do something more, I think you would need to install a client side application of some sort, or maybe use activeX controls (there always seems to be a way to break the rules with activeX)
