File Transfer b/w Client - Server using JSP

Hi,

I need to implement a file transfer between the client and the server using JSP / Beans. The files can be XML Documents, Images (.gif,.jpeg) or even MS Word documents.

The user has a set directory on his file system where the files are to be saved upon download and retrieved upon upload. This system is similar to a check-in check-out system.

How do I get a reference to the directory on the users file system and then either save the downloaded files there or retrieve the files that need to be uploaded.

Thanks

The only way you can do this is by using an applet, a jsp page or servlet does not have access to the system that the browser is running on. Furthermore if you were planning on using the html file form object you cannot set a value for that programmatically. It's not allowed for security reasons.
