    Hi all, I have a very silly question, Can I create a Folder in Client machine from a web application. I have tried to do that. But I am unable to do so. I have created an asp.net web application using visual studio IDE. And when I executed the web application using visual studio the folder is created. After that I hosted the web application in IIS and the tried to access the web application. The web application was accessed successfully but the folder was not created on the client machine. I have searched on the net and found the following links which suggest not to do so. Its not possible to create a folder on client machine from a web application http://forums.asp.net/t/2009541.aspx?When+client+access+my+application+need+to+create+a+folder+in+client+machine[^] http://bytes.com/topic/c-sharp/answers/496185-could-asp-net-create-files-client-machine[^] Could you please suggest me the ways of how to do it. Thanks.

      1. No 2. Read carefully the rules of this forum (top of the page)

        Annoying people you want help from is rarely a good way to start things. And not reading clear instructions is a good way to annoy people. So do as it says at the top of the page, and don't post technical questions here. Post here instead: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]

          Semi-useful answer: If I could create a folder on your system from my web app, I'd be creating folders on your system until you ran out of hard drive space. Rethink what it is you're trying to solve. I'm gonna leave it at that.

                  I'm not sure whether that means you're disappointed in my initial response. :-)

                    Well,the answer is obviously "NO" as you can't take the OS level control of client. Why do you want to create folder on client machine? Please provide your requirement.
