Re: Browse for file - on the server

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If they are domain users, cannot you have them browse the folders using the
Windows Explorer and they can open the files by double clicking on them?
(This is a network admin issue to give them browse access to certain folders)

It's a bit different than that, we have a non-anonymous user who is a domain
user and we would use their domain credentials for the browsing so they would
only see directories and files they are authorized to see.

And then, all they can do is select a file. They can't view it or edit it,
just select it.

you want a user - anonymous in the majority of cases - browsing your server?
I can't see why that's a good idea. If they need specific files, put it in a
directory and grant anonymous access. Outside of that, end-users have no
business browsing an application server.

Hi;

Is there a control where it can browse for a file on the server (not the
client) and can do so using the permissions of the user on the client so
it
does not show shares/drives/directories/files that the user does not have
rights to?

I need it to return the fully qualified name of the file. I do not need
the
file uploaded (it's already on the server).
