File upload without user interaction

How to upload a file without user interaction, if I know the exact file path. I don't want to click Browse button for every file I wan't to upload. :confused:
I have not tried this but you could try and use JavaScript to set the FILE input element to the exact path and filename you want to upload. Then use JavaScript again to submit the form. You do still need the form and you still do need the FILE input.

I would suspect that doesn't work - just think of the security implications if any site you visit can upload any file from your machine to their server. :eek:

However I suspect that if you focus the FILE input and then simulate keypresses you can make it work. Anyone know how to simulate keypresses using JavaScript?
