Besides the name, type and size of the uploaded file, I also need the path of the file on the user
PC. Does someone know how to retrieve this data, with or without using some special component or
script on the client PC to have the path data transmitted?
The need for it is quite obvious when one wants to upload a HTML file containing images, saved with
e.g. the Explorer browser on the client PC. We want the images as well to be uploaded, as much as
possible in an automated way. And if we would know on the server the client PC's path to the
HTML file on the PC, then we know also the name of the submap where the imagefiles are located on
the client PC, thanks to the way browsers save them.
