Is it possible to run a command on the client computer ?

I saw here

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/te...ocs/index.html

that javascript has built-in methods such as cp, dir, date etc

how do i get these to run on the client computer ?

the client will be linux or osx .

1.) A signed Java Applet where you explicitly have ansvered "Yes" when
asked if you wanted to let the applet run.
2.) A signed ActiveX control where you explicitly have ansvered "Yes"
when
asked if you wanted to let the control run.
3.) Any ActiveX control, and you have the security settings of your
browser
wide-open.

Neither PHP nor JavaScript is able to access your files.
what about drive by downloads where the client simply has to visit a
malicious web site to be compromised ? you know that the client doesnt
have to do anything to give up his data to a malicious website so why
are you denying it ?
You know this for a fact? Can you name such a site?
Or did this happen to a friend of a friend?

If your system is so insecure that this can happen then you should unplug
your system from the internet. It's unsafe.

os x and linux.

you guys are seriously trying to tell me yhou have never heard of
these kind of attacks ?

i suggest you visit some security websites to see how prevalent they
are and how easy they seem to be to execute.

Prove it!

Prove it by posting a link to such a site, and I'll go there myself
with all my different browsers to see if you are right!

The only way that can happen is in scenario 3.) above when using IE.
And then only when someone have manually turned off the default security
settings in IE first.

No, definitely not!

Of course I have, but those is only harmful to those that have opened
up the default security settings of their browsers... javaScript alone
can't do any harm to my computer. And neither can Applets or ActiveX
controls without me giving them explicit permission to do so.

This thread started with you claiming that an "enemy's" web-site
managed to access your computer

<quote>
>i visited a website of an enemy and he not only did a listing of my
local files he also copied them to his server. im pretty certqain he
was using javascript.

Post a link to this site. It is in everybody's interest that you do so.

this happened a while ago and the site is long gone,

you must know that these sites only stay online for a few days before
they are pulled down,

i am interested to know how he got hold of my files.

he pointed me to some of his websites and i went and had a look, i
clicked a few links and hey presto my hard drive starts churning,

by the time i realised what had happened he had nicked my files. i
know this because he got my telephone numebr and email and home
address from my resume which was on my desktop . i certainly never
sent it to him,.

this has happened to me since and i have wiped windows off my
remaining PC and installed linux.

i got rid of my ibm thinkpad and got myself a powerbook.

i am now rid of the virus called windows.,

We both know this happens all the time on windows so why are you
denying it ?
