Why do you need the local path? What are you trying to do? Perhaps there are better alternatives... — hsan, Mar 01 '13 at 12:22

You can't do it because : It's a security feature in all browsers.

The full path on the client is not available to you. The browser acts as an intermediary, allowing the user to select a file, and sending the contents to the server, but never allowing the page to know any more than it absolutely must.

"Include local directory path when uploading files to a server"? What browser allows you to change that directive? – Fabrício Matté Mar 01 '13 at 12:17
I don't want any server side changes I just want to pic my local file – user2123421 Mar 01 '13 at 12:17
Oj never mind, found that IE8 allows it from the linked question. – Fabrício Matté Mar 01 '13 at 12:18
@ Fabrício Matté what exactly you mean to say Include local directory is it specific folder – user2123421 Mar 01 '13 at 12:19
@user2123421 I just quoted a part of the answer. Never mind it. It is well explained in the [question](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3489167/1331430) linked in your question's comments. – Fabrício Matté Mar 01 '13 at 12:21
