Accessing visitor's files

[I.m.learning]

This is stupid, but I can’t find the answer, what do websites use as code for an option to upload my files to their server?

I found a trick one day that I had mistakenly not added a link to my tag:

[less than] a href = “” [greater than] no closing anchor tag
also [less than] a href [greater than] no closing anchor tag

It opened my file explorer.

What I am looking to do is see if I can use a link to open a Windows OS for a sound file on my visitor’s computer… For example, use a link to open up c:\Windows\Media\Windows.Background.wav
I know I can just copy the darn thing, but it got me to thinking is this a possibility? Google search sucks!

Its unclear what you’re trying to do.

• Are you asking how to upload a file through a web browser?

• Are you asking how to upload a sound file through a web browser and then play it via a media player on your website?

• Are you asking if it’s possible for a website/browser to interact with OS sound files on visiting computers?

• Are you asking how to do something different?

If you are more concise with your requirements and intentions, somebody may be able to offer suggestions, or at least give you a good starting point for where to begin your research.

Actually EDIT:

I can post exactly what I did any it will open up the file.

When it comes time to find the rest of the issue, I will post it.
