Hi all!
I must to read and write from/to a specified usb pendrive insert into my client pc via web.
I'm trying to open a web page, list all client dviers (C:\,D:\ ... ), click on a driver, and if is an removable device write a txt file or (reverse operation) read a txt !
I've tried some code about drivers listing, but this reads only local (so if I run the page from my iis serve, I view server drivers not my local ones).
Any solution or idea?
Many thanks for all posts, and sorry for my english :)

All the best

This isn't possible via a web page. The only potential solution you have is by writing an ActiveX component which will mean you users will have to be using Internet Explorer (it won't work with any other browser) and they will have to explicitly grant access to your component in order for it to work.
