I have an form (html/php with javascript type checking) that I'm using to allow users to upload files. Is working fine. Files are uploaded from a specific folder on the network. My question is whether it's possible to specify where the file is uploaded from rather than having the user drill down to the folder when they need to upload the file?
 
Nope.
There's no way to my knowledge to specify the start folder for the file input.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

If your web server has access to that network location, you could have PHP read the files and list them for the user to choose. No "upload" would be needed.
 
Thanks spamjim. Hadn't considered this options. This opened up other things that I could do.
