Hi rahulgsp83,

If I understand you correctly you have some sort of CMS system that runs on a server that users access via a browser? Or does "perl/cgi which is really on client side only" mean that this system installs on client machines?

If this actually runs from a server then there are many posts here regards file uploading, for example Re: I need a simple web upload script. (super search for more examples).

Hi Martin, thanks for ur replies,i think i am not able to describe the reqs properly,let me try once again suppose user has got access to some CMS through URL,he is working on it ,now he wants to import a file from his local system into the "cms" in which he is working ,(there is no network transfer stuff involved here ,we are already connected to network through VPN),i have developed a button ,if we click the perl program is called now only program is that when that perl program executes "some thing"(i dont no wit) should happen through which user is able to transfer files (just as he would do on his WINDOWS LOCAL MACHINE),hope i am able to describe this time nyways thanks to all the ppl for replying ,i am also trying from end to solve this issue regards, rahul

Hi Marto, thanks for replies ,actually i think mistake is mine i am probably not clear in description of requirements ,let me try once again , users are accessing server thr browser only ,supppose we are USING that CMS,now some one wants to IMPORT a file which is on HIS LOCAL SYSTEM inside the CMS ,there is no UPLOAD required here as per my unstding of that CMS,we just need to import the file through a perl/SCRIPT which will be launched when we click a button inside the CMS ,i have developed that button but when i am not able to write the perl/CGI script which wll execute when the user hits a button and "something" will happen through which user will select files on local system and import it within server i am not sure i am still clear or not but still thanks for ur earlier replies regards, rahul
