Copy files from Server to local machine on pressing a button

[ravula2000]

Hi,
I have a webapplication on a server. In this webapplication we have to provide a menu where users can select a list of files (in a directory) on the server and on pressing download button, the files should be automatically copy to users local machine say in c:\. Is this possible
using Javascript or vb or asp etc..?

Thanks
Srini

I may be mistaken but I don't think it can be done using client-side javascript because it doesn't communicate with the server. You may be able to do it with sesrver-side javascript but I think your better bet would be with something like PHP or PERL.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
