A java agent sitting on the client pc looking at a:\, sends file types you want, resends when updated, either by FTP, or HTTP,
I have'nt wrote an agent that will do this but certainly Java or even C++ would be the direction I would go, j -----Original Message----- From: JAIME HOI [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 4:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to read from client's a: drive automatically?? automatically means the user do not need to click on anything, the application page will retrieve the file from client's a: drive. Its actually meant to retrieve password from that file. For some data, we need encryption , so if the file is not found, the user will then not be able to see the encrypted data or save the data. Each time we save the data, we will need to retrieve the password from the file/diskette. Thus it would be best if i can do it automatically otherwise, the user will need to click on the "Browse" to choose the file EACH TIME he/she needs to view or save the securied data. OR does anyone know of a better way of handling it? -----Original Message----- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 10:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to read from client's a: drive automatically?? When you say automatically, do you mean other than a standard file upload field, and cffile action="upload"? Users can select a file on their a: drive the same as any other file. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "JAIME HOI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 10:02 PM Subject: How to read from client's a: drive automatically?? > hi > Does anyone knows how i can read a .txt file from client's a: drive > automatically? if i cannot read the file, the whole > file retrieval operation will be aborted.
