Delete file on client side machine
Is it possible to delete a file on a client side machine using VB/JAVA
script? My website allows the user to upload a file to the website and after that I would like to delete the file on their machine I tried this: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.DeleteFile("C:\1-1-S.xml") But it is always looking to the server machine? How do I say delete file XYZ on client machine. Is this even possible with the security issues? Paul Gazing into my crystal ball I observed p***@legalperfect.co.za (Paul)

You could always put up some text telling the client they should delete the file themselves. [1] Back in the 80's, while I was out to lunch one day, one of the brokers called the telcom person in the NY office. She said "Type in cd .. then type in DEL *.*" The root was erased. Thank God I had Norton Unerase floppies in my purse when I got back and restored everything. -- Adrienne Boswell http://www.cavalcade-of-coding.info Please respond to the group so others can share "Adrienne" wrote in message
