Not until it gets to the server, no. JavaScript can't read local
filesystem files, Java I believe can - but you can't rely on people
having it installed (I don't for example), even Flash has no local
file access abilities (thank goodness).

Just let them upload the file, check the size when it's arrived and
say "sorry, you just wasted X minutes of your life uploading that, try
again".

Gotta be cruel to be kind :)
