Upload file without Form

[Dark_Storm]

Hello. Is there a way to upload a file automatically without bothering the user? I am creating a members only section of my website, and it requires that the users have a special directory on their computer. I'd like the website to be able to automatically read this file and uplaod contents, such as my own version of a cookie stored within in this file, and the user's images (since i dont have enough space to store them on my server). Id like all this uploading to be done without bothering the user.
thank u

This is not normally allowed. A web site downloading files from your computer without your permission would be very bad security-wise, so most browsers don't allow it. If you really want to do it you'll need to exploit some kind of browser-specific security hole, such as ActiveX.
