edit: PHP question..

Well, I don't believe it's possible ... IFAIK standards compliance do not allow any access to client resources. So as html/javascript comply to those basic rules, you do not have a way of doing it in javascript. (I saw those rules somewhere, don't exactly know where ... maybe here, but I'm not sure).

You could do it using ActiveX, and as long as the user accepts the ActiveX to run on your computer, you can access client resources using vb intruction set. User would see a pop-up window asking for authorization, but then again, he may reject it (like I mostly do), or he can even have a security level that disables any ActiveX execution.

<edit>
Could you imagine if we could access client resources via javascript? For example one would access a page, and it would delete contents of system directory ... or it would redirect &amp; upload some personal file stores on My Documents ... eheh that would be the end of web as we know it ...

you cant do it with javascript. it doesnt have that kind of access to files and runs client side, not server side... if it did, chances are there would be about 4000 more bugs microsoft had to fix with their browser to prevent "malicious code from running on the user's computer" It's pretty easy to do with PHP however, of course that's server side file listing, not client side.
 
Maybe you should clarify whether you're talking about a directory on the client machine or the server.
