I have a web application which is supposed to create a file on clients local mcahine as the user is not having permissions to create a file on the server on which the web application is running.Can anyone please help me with this.I came across some posts stating that it is not a security measure to create a file on clients machine, but in my case I am left with no options.

We have a requirement to allow the cient to upload multiple files which resides in a single folder, within the client computer. To do this can we allow the client to browse for the file location and select a single file (via a normal asp file uploader), and then recursively read the necessary files from the relevant directory? Is this possible or is there any other way to do this?
View 6 RepliesI have developed an application where I need to create a page to read data from Excel File and then update it to the database. The code that I wrote works only when the application runs from my machine. When I deployed the application to the server it gave an error- 'C:PRFileIimport_File.xls' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. here is mu code -

suppose when user click on link or button for downloading file in asp.net then download start.so i just want to know how to detect that the file as been downloaded in client machine.is it possible to track from server side code. because i want to develop a file download sectionfrom where user at a time can download only single file. so in this case when file download starti will just capture client ip and store it in session and so when user click on another link to download another fileat the same when another file is downloading so in this situation i will check file is downloading from this ip and if yesthen i will reject user request and tell him that sorry already a file is downloading so try after when this download willbe over. when file download will be over then i will clear that session and in this way my purpose will be solved andrestric user to downlolad multiple file.this type of things is used in rapidshare,hotfile etc. so i just implement this

I have a server application that runs in a hosted environment but creates print jobs in the client's local network (behind NAT; the mechanics of this is not relevant).
In order to send the print job to the printer that is attached to the workstation, I need to identify the workstation. The users move around between workstations, so I can't permanently associate a user with a workstation/printer. The trivial solution is to require the user to identify the machine he is logging in from, for instance by selecting from a list, but that's an inconvenience and subject to user error.
Options I have eliminated:
Host header variables (nothing identifiable is sent) Cookies, in support of a user selection. This somewhat addresses the potential for user error, but not really. HTML5 DOM Storage - is not supported by the client's browser
Edit: I do have the option of puttnig this particular function (create a print job) into a thick client app. The app can then of course be configured and the problem goes away. But the user experience will suffer from having to switch between the browser and a Windows app.
I want to access one image file residing in C: of the client's machine. I know with the help of file upload control (or say input type=file), this would be easy. Due to nature of my application (Its a KIOSK application), user is not expected to select file. I am just wondering how should I implement reading file without using file upload control. I want to store this file in Images folder of server. I am beginner to WCF. Should I look towards WCF?

FYI, a text box has the path the client machine file.
I'm having some trouble trying to create a page for my web app. I'm not trying to write a simple download/upload page. Should also say that I'm not trying to write a complex one.What I need to do is in the PageLoad check if the user has installed one particular software and then show the right message to download and install OR run it from the user's actual installation. For this scenario I've tried to use different file upload controls to check if the file was on the client machine, but none of then can do this, since, for security reasons,I can't programmatically set the path and file to upload.
