Hi Kiran,

Like any file of your choice?
Luckily you cannot.
If you could do that in a browser, it is broken.
The security implications are obvious...

In the standard security environment - you can't. (Thankfully - otherwise it
would be a trivial matter to upload "my passwords file" or "the file where
a common accounting application stores credit card details" or whatever.

The normal way to upload a file is to use a file input and have the user
select the file themselves.
