How to specify the file path in HTML Input button--Help me

[vishnu]

Hi,

I am using HTML input file button to browse the file and just am
updating the file name in sql server
table.But now i want to browse the file from the remote file share path
..How can i specify this path in HTML input button.Is there anyway to
open the file from the specified path instead of opening local
directory?

Thanks,
Vishnu

I don't believe you can. Input uploads a file from the client to the
server, and sandbox security doesn't allow you to specificy the path to any
file on the clients computer. I'm sure its a restriction set out in the RFC
for HTTP Upload.

You will need to create some form of signed activeX to get around the
security limits imposed.
