generate list of clients machine files?

[Vegeta01]

Hey there

I want to make an extensive browser/fileupload script inspired on windows Explorer... A server side listing of the files and directories with the home directory specified in the script and a listing of the clients files. The server side part can be found on http://vegeta.evilkalah.be ... The idea now is to make it possible to upload or download (maybe drag and drop) files from on side to the other. I don't know how I best make the client side. So on this part any help is welcome...

(any comment on the site (vegeta.evilkalah.be) so far is welcome too)

What you are proposing would be considered by most browsers as a SEVERE security breach. Even the broken security of MSIE would put a stop to that. If you were to attempt it though, you'd have to use a client-side applet; either in Java or ActiveX.
