Manipulate Client Computer's directories

Is it possible to manipulate client computer's direcotries through an
ASP.NET page?

For example: user click "Down Load Package To Temporary Directory", then a
whole package with proper directory structure will be downloaded to client
computer's c:\temp directory.

Thanks,
Guogang

Hello Guogang,

No, this is not possible unless you use client-side code and have explicit
permissions to do so from the client-side. To allow this would violate
browser security.

HTH,

Hi. We had a PC that had Oracle Client 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 installed in Default_Home (c:\orant) and Default_Home1 (c:\oracle).

Even if the first and the second directories are actually the same- the File.Copy() doesn't work. Is there any way to copy a file to a different computer?...
