Re: Access/manage local file system

[micael]

You know, Mark, if he is talking about accessing files on the local system 
via a foreign server that still can be done.  Silly, but it can be 
done.  There are circumstances, however, where it would not be 
silly.  Those circumstances are when you want to modify files on client A 
from a browser on client B via an http server on machine C, which is on 
neither client.  I actually am in the middle of a project that involves 
such functionality.  The project is a hoot.  But, if you want merely to 
modify files on client A from client A, poof, no problem. Micael

Re: Access/manage local file system

[micael]

Hi, Mark.

I don't know what you mean by "I understand the downloading a server 
concept".  You mean downloading from a server?

Let me start over.

The question that was sent was ambiguous.  We know he wanted the client to 
manage files via a browser.  But, we did not know if he meant files on a 
server or files on the client.

We all know how to do that on the server, I think.  That is easy.  So, I 
assumed that was not the problem.

But, we may get stuck when trying to manage files on the client with a 
browser.  We can manage files on the client with a browser by putting a 
server on the client, and then accessing that server.  That was the 
answer.  The interface for interaction with a file system and the browser 
is via a server.  So, if you want to manage files on the client with a 
browser, build a little (or a big) server.  Heck, download tomcat and use 
that, even if that would be overkill.

Are we on the same wavelength?

Could you provide an example of how you'd going about such a task?

I understand the downloading a server concept, but would the user have to
choose to download something and give permission to achieve access to the
client machine in such a way? Downloading and running it on the client,
isn't that different to interacting with a webapplication on the server?

Many thanks in advance

Re: Access/manage local file system

The answer is definitely yes if you mean files on the server.  If you mean 
files on the client, the answer is still yes.  You just build a little 
server on the client for the browser and use localhost or your localhosts 
ip address.  So, either way, the answer is yes.

Access/manage local file system

[Heligon Sandra]

Sorry,

To post a similar message to my first mail but I have to give a
response this week,
and I don't have any solution to my problem.
I would like to know if it possible through a web browser to
access/manage local file systems
(create a file, display content of directories...). I need to store
data in a file, each file is specific to each client 
and I thing that these files don't have to be sent to the server.
I would like to know if Struts(view components) offer solution for
this function ?
If not I would like to know where I could find more information
about this point and JSP
pages that allow to manage file system (files, directories...).

I hope that someone could help me.  
Thanks a lot in advance.
