Listing contents of the client's CD/flash/hard drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I am new to Coldfusion and am having trouble doing the following: When the users click on a button, all the folders on a CD drive or on a USB drive, should be parsed automatically, and whichever folders contain the .ini file type, all the files from that folder should be automatically uploaded to the server.

Is there any way to do this? I read about the CFDirectory tag, but i think it is used to list all directories on the coldfusion server. How can I parse the contents of a folder/directory on the client's machine (CD/USB drive)? Is there any other tag I should use?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Basically you can't. This is because of security

But you can write/get an activeX control to do this, but it has to be allowed by the user.
