  • Unless "that technology who's name cannot be spoken out loudly" (activeX) is used (or a browser helper object) the answer is no! – Mouser Aug 05 '15 at 08:44
  • or can i do that with AngularJS, can customize directive ?.. – Hải Võ Văn Aug 05 '15 at 08:47
  • NO!, security reasons prohibit this. You don't want some kind of scriptkiddy pumping files into locations you don't want them to be. Cannot be done with all tools based upon JavaScript. – Mouser Aug 05 '15 at 08:48

No, you can't. Javascript has no control on the user's local file system.
