The CF administrator has a Java applet that allows the user to pick a path.

And you have read correctly.  Just take a moment to imagine the havoc if 
I could write a web application that could root around your file system 
for any interesting sounding files every time you visited my popular web 
site?

IF the client and server are on the same well defined, internal network.

IF your organization is willing to open the client's file system to 
inspection by users of the network domain.

IF you configure your ColdFusion to run as a user of the domain with the 
required permissions to see the client machine and its file system.

You can use  and  tags with UNC paths to 
access network resources outside of the server's system.

I.E.  

Hmmm I wonder what I could find there?

RE: Need full path file browser

2008-03-04 Thread Brad Wood
I don't know if it will be cross browser compatible, but you should be
able to do it in IE without an active x control.

Put a hidden field in the form.  Onchange of the file field, copy the
value of it (the full path) into the hidden field.  Onsumbit of the
form, don't actually submit the form, but send the value of the hidden
field as an Ajax call, or copy it over to a second form on the page
which doesn't have the file field.

I haven't done exactly that, but I believe it should be possible and
wouldn't require any applet or active x control.

 >>Is this possible?

With cross compatible code, the answer is no.
If you use Explorer, you will have to make some ActiveX component to do
so.
provided the use will accept to load it.
