I'm looking to establish if it's possible to run a local program like whatever.exe from a webpage, that in this case its residing on an intranet
Can this be done? i know that this could be a huge security risk, but... Or is it only possible to do from a local server? I know this can be done with for instance exec(though i haven't gotten it yet
They whole issue is that I'm developing a toolpage that have to include a bunch of other tools or at least give access to these tools and the point is that the users have to add what ever programs they use to a tool list and these programs will reside on their own local machines.
If it isn't possible then they'll probably have to place the programs on the server and then run them from there. In that case how should this be done?
