Just to clarify: you want a batch file to run on a client machine? I doubt that's possible, that would be quite the security risk. if it's the other way around, i've done that before and sometimes it's a permissions issue, can you post what you've tried?

yes i want to run bat file(from server) to run on client machine, it is in our intranet website.

Put this in a batch file: format c: Now imagine I could execute that batch file on your PC from my website. Do you see a problem here?

It can't work then. Sorry.

What are you trying to do? It may be possible to achieve it in a different way. Running a batch file on the client is not (afaik) allowed. Think of the damage you could do.

You can do it using ActiveX. But ActiveX will work only on IE.
