Hey there

I want to make an extensive browser/fileupload script inspired on windows Explorer... A server side listing of the files and directories with the home directory specified in the script and a listing of the client's files. The server side part can be found on http://vegeta.evilkalah.be ... The idea now is to make it possible to upload or download (maybe drag and drop) files from on side to the other. I don't know how I best make the client side. So on this part any help is welcome...

(any comment on the site (vegeta.evilkalah.be) so far is welcome too)

the problem is getting permission to view/alter files on the client computer, you certainly wont be able to format them nicely as you have on the server-side.

You can use an iframe with the src being a folder on the client machine , and its possible to then drag and drop to another iframe which is in fact an FTP folder on the server though IE will generate warnings about the safety of doing this.

basically to do it all with the look and feel you are aiming for then probably no is the answer (via browser at least)

& nice looking interface BTW
