Copy And Paste a FILE using flash

[Sdirby]

Good Morning:

I'm curious to know if there's a way that you can hardcode a simple form with a button that when you push it it goes and grabs a file from a directory and copies it to your desktop. If this can be done i would really appreciate any pointers on how to go about it.

Thank you,

Probably possible with server side scripting, of which I know nothing about... Otherwise, you could zip up the file, and use a getURL pointing to that zipped file. The user would then be presented with the "open" or "save as" dialog box and choose either.
