Upload Files without form

[Ruddy]

Hi,

Is possible to upload a file to a server without a form?

my page receives as parameter the path of file in the user computer. so i want to send this file to my server, but i don´t want to force the user to browse the file and them click OK and ... i want to send the file directly...

i tried with copy but no success..

if anyone have a clue would be great... :o)

/I TRIED THIS WAY/

$file = "c:\windows\files\teste.txt";
$dest = "/Files/";
copy ($file, $dest);

No, the only way is with an upload form. C:\ refers to the local machine (i.e. the server box, Windows no less).

I guess it's possible to send the bytecode of a fle in the query string but alot of systems limit the query string to a certain number of characters.

And thank Bob for that - can you imagine the security risks inherent in the idea that you'll hit a site and it will immediately start sucking files off your hard drive?

Surely no-one will do that. That's just nasty.
