Hi 

var filesytem = new ActiveXObject ( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );

filesytem.FileExists("C:\\IO.sys")

The above two lines will give you that whether the file exists or not 

in the client's m/c. 

But this will work only in IE not in Netscape.

For browsers like netscape this code will throw an exception.

One thing we can do is that catch the exception and give msg to user

accordingly.

With Regards,

Mangesh

Hi,

I got your email from p2p.wrox.com forum where you had posted the problem as "javascript filesystem"

I want to do the same thing with my code, where i want to find out whether a particuler file exists on the client machine or not. If
you can help me out in doing it, that will be great.

Looking forward for a helping hand.

Warm Regards,
