Accessing file system in client with .net winform control used as Activex in page
-
Hi everyone, I hope someone has idea on how to do this... I used this example[^] to create a user control with windows controls with the idea of accessing the client's file system through internet explorer by using this interface as an ActiveX. The basic idea is that through this control I access some files in a server through FTP that need to be updated, for example in c:\files\ in the client that's looking at this web page. So, I navigate in IE to this webpage with this user control in the page, and it works ok in my working computer, but when I try to run this update in another computer, I get error messages stating that I don't have the priviledges to access the files in the computer. Has anyone by any chance tried something like this? accessing the client's file system from IE using a user control? My studies have brought me to the fact that it's possible to update these files: - By setting this web site as secure in IE it works ok in other computers. - By setting security priviledges with the .NET Framework configuration tool the control also works. Well, what I need is that some how the user doesn't need to do any of these configurations, but somehow the user is asked if it allows the activex component to run and lets it work on his computer. I've seen that some activex controls prompt if they'll be allowed to run, but for some reason this is not the case with this control. Thanks for taking the time to read this :) daniero -- modified at 19:32 Wednesday 18th January, 2006
