Accessing client file system

[revathi17]

Hello all,

One of my friends is trying to find a solution to this problem. Any suggestion from anyone could be of great help.
This is the issue: There is a web application which is deployed in a server and the application is invoked via a client's browser. Now the developer wants access to the client's local file system. To be more precise, he wants to delete a file from the client's file system. He has complete access and rights in the client machine to delete stuff. All he has now, is just a client browser through which he wants to delete a file. We are not sure how to go about doing this or whether it is feasible to do...
Any solution??

Thanks,
R

You can use applets to delete files on the client side. Check the following document:
