unable to run a batch file from client in asp.net

[MissionSuccess]

Respected Gurus I have to run a batch file in a web application(ASP.net).I am using the following code on click of a web control button. Try System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Server.MapPath("Imports\DumpPrmaster.bat")) Catch ex As Exception lblError.Text = ex.Message End Try Problem is that i can run this batch file while being on the server.But not from the client machine. How can i run this batch file stored in the Imports folder of my project from the client. dtsrun /SserverIP /Uajay /PPassword /NDTS_Name is the code inside my batch file. Thanks Ajay

Are you trying to run this file on client machine ?

Exactly I want to run the batch file stored on the server being on a client.

you can create an Activex control that run's the batch file, embed it in the aspx page, while loading the page; prompt a message and convince the user to install it on the machine.

It won't be possible since it's a security violation. You can't execute any scripts on client browser. If your client allows to install activex, you can create on that runs this batch file.
