I am creating a web app in a4d that needs access to the
filesystem, I want to quickly scan the users hard drive for
documents ending in .xls, .pdf, etc
Any thoughts on how to do this?
There are an awful lot of security patches out there to STOP web
applications being able to do this! Accessing the client hard drive
from a web browser would be a massive security hole, which any
browser that I'm aware of will have plugged. If it were possible,
then that's exactly what virus programmers would use to gain access
to all the data on your computer. I suppose that you *might* be able
to do it with an ActiveX control, but even then, the security
implications would be massive.
Look at the FOLDER LIST, DOCUMENT LIST and "extension of" commands.
These are server-side functions.
