I’m working on a Silverlight control that will allow multi-file downloading. At the moment I’m trying to get my mind around the permission model of the browser.
Let’s say, on a web page, a user enters a local folder (c:\temp) in a text box. The user then clicks a button.
Is it possible in JavaScript or Silverlight, to write a collection of files (that are stored on the server) to that folder on the user’s drive?
From Javascript – NO. It would be way too easy from some scumbag to install a virus on your PC if that were possible.
Silverlight I don’t know about, but I would assume writing to the users hard drive would be very limited and tightly controlled.
