Hi,

I am using fileupload control on my form. when I select my file from local disk or from any path it showing only filename in Mozilla .I want full path. I dont want server path where I am uploading my file. I want client machines full file path. Its working fine in IE6 but in IE8 its showing same problem as there in Mozilla.

How can I get file path??

Thanks

It is by design, search google, it is considered a security risk for the server to know about the file structure of the client. I have searched in a few places and not found a suitable way to obtain the client path information.
