traversing a client directory in ASP.NET

I want to traverse to a client directory and show the clients directory and
files. Is there a way without using the the <input> tag? I mean dynamically
retrieving the directory information of the client browsing the web page?

Better yet, give me your e-mail address and I'll just send you my personal
files over to you.

No, there is no way for the server code to know anything about the client
file system.

Yes, but not natively in the .NET Framework. For this, you need a Java
applet such as: http://www.unlimitedftp.ca/products/udownload/

It doesn't have to be a Java applet. It can be any client-side component
programmed to do the task. An ActiveX control can do it. The client-side
FileSystemObject can do it, etc. The point is, it can't be done with
server-side code.

Not if it needs to be cross-browser compatible...

Indeed, though that's not actually what the OP asked...

Well, OP could always write an ActiveX control...

Nov 19 '05 #10
Yes, I suggested that, but that ActiveX control would run on the client, not
the server.
