Accessing files on the local system from the browser

Jan 8 2016 9:31 AM

Accessing File system from browser is not a good practice and can be implemented according to my knowledge.

But, can we by any means do that, i need to open files that resides on the local directory (using the browser from my web application) .

Can we do that using HTML5, js or any scripting or server side language? Is there any workaround?

Can we call a console application that open that file using the suitable application from the browser?
