Do you mean use a Java Applet or JavaScript. I know how to browse the user's file system using JavaScript or VBScript if I use the ActiveX object "FileSystemObject" but then the site will only work on IE. I don't like build sites that only work for one browser.
But even if I create a page that lets the user browse their own computer and the FTP Server using a combo of JavaScript, PHP and HTML frames. I still don't know how to ftp right from the client side browser without using the <INPUT> tag "file" and upload, not ftp.
