Hi,
I do'nt think so this can be possible as your web page is loading from a remote server which doe's'nt have any connection with client machine.Second thing the browser client accessing actually co'nt acces client hardware using javascript or ajax because this is a security clause which normally browser will not allow.
Let us know if you have any other thinking.

Re: App That needs to Get to the USB of Client
It isn't possible with only PHP or Javascript. Currently, some sort of browser plugin is required, like a Java applet.
Re: App That needs to Get to the USB of Client
Even with a plugin it will be very difficult. Tbh, what you've described is also the perfect description of a virus.
I suspect you are wanting to connect to an RSA fob or similar device. You won't be able to do this within the realms of a web-app. You'll need a client-side app to do it.

Exactly as you said , it's kind of RSA fob in the thinking , i don't need it to be in PHP ,it can be in Java but i cannot install any plugin on the Client side.

It's impossible to do without a plugin or installing a client side application without resorting to some sort of security breach.
