sorry it took so long to reply
ok, just as an example, yes, i am on a windows machine, and every PC on the network is to.
when i go to the address bar to get a local file, this is what the link looks like
[url]
C:\Users\pc1\Desktop\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\progam.exe
[/url]
but the computer i want to use to store the files is on a local network, and an example of what that address looks like is this:
\\Networked_Computer_name\folder1\fold ... doc.pdf
that is exactly what it looks like, backslashes and all.
now, the code to perform this task is (hopefully) is php code in a php page uploaded to a remote server.
the company has a remote host for its website and data management system, and for files, it stores them on a computer on a local network
so i need the php page uploaded to the online server to be able to pull up a save as dialogue box on the users machine, with the file saves to the right folder on the local machine.
there are no issues with permissions. i am looking at the local machine, it is in my office, right next to my desk.
so, the concept is for the user to go online to a web page uploaded to the remote server, hosted by jomamma.com, click on a button on that page and have the php code hit the users local machine, pop up from the local machine a 'Save As' dialogue box, where the location of where the file is to be saved is pre-determined by the appropriate syntax
is that clearer?
