I have a web application (.NET, if it matters) where when one of the pages is loaded, a file on the users local machine needs to be copied (uploaded) to the webserver. This upload needs to be without user intervention. This web application will be running on a kiosk where I would be setting up the original permissions and then locked down from accessing the desktop/filesystem.
Conversely, on another page, I need the web application to copy something to the users local machine (download). Again, this download needs to be invisible to the user.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Update: Yeah, I know this could be used maliciously. I was hoping there was a way of doing this, but really, it shouldn’t be allowed. Bah, thanks for confirming my suspicions.
Update 2: See comment to Guy Starbuck.
This is not a good idea, there must be a better design for your requirements.
In any case, if you really wanted to do it, and you have full control of the client kiosks, you could install a windows service on them that can manage file uploads/downloads and be controlled via TCP/IP from the web server.
