I believe it can, but I am not sure how to make it interact with the client file system. Will it natively have support for this, and if so, what is to stop someone from maliciously being able to create an applet that can scan your system and report back to the server what is on your machine?

I dont think that Java by itself would be able to read local details due to it being run in it's own sandbox, without any outside access (i dont know/like java, so this is a guess)

If you only need it for file uploads, just use <input type="file"...... as clicking browse will cause the BROWSER to access the local drive and present a file open dialog... why re-invent the wheel

Because I am trying to do bulk uploads and people just want to see visually on the screen all of the files they are able to upload on their hard drive and then select them all, and then just hit upload.

I am aware of the Browse function but it gets tiring to click Browse 20 or 50 times.

Get me?
