Hi
If we log on to an App on our server either through a generated client or the Java log on via an internet browser all of the local computers drives are visable but if we log on by our preferred HTML5 log on the local PCs drive are not visible and we cannot save to them.
Do we need to ammend anything in the HTML5 html index document?
Thanks

Drive Redirection and HTML5
Re: Drive Redirection and HTML5
I found this on the Web
"For security reasons, the HTML5 Filesystem API does not allow applications to write ... folders on the user's hard drive"
Can anyone confirm that when using the HTML5 logon pages on a PC that this is correct and your local hardrives cannot be seen in My Computer.
Thanks
Michael

Question has been answered, thanks John.
Hello,
The answer to this question is an easy one in fact.
It is not technically possibly to map local drives when using HTML5 because HTML5 is a pure HTML technology AND the W3C strictly
prohibit any web page to be able to inter-act with the user local disk drives or local devices.
If you want to do a web access with the local disk drives accesses you must use:
- Outside web browser
OR
- Java client (where you even can set the use of Windows ActiveX. If you set this option in javacannect.html, you will get all local device mapping
but it will be requested to use IE on a Windows PC)
Kind regards
