    It is not possible. Only the user can select a file. – epascarello Nov 01 '18 at 20:58
  • your question is not clear. Can you clarify you question in detail? I think you want to know that the file selected by user already exists on your server? – Ajit Kumar Nov 01 '18 at 20:59

    Make sure to actually ask a question at least in your title, since this is a Q&A website. Just saying what you want does not make it easy to formulate an answer. – David Meza Nov 01 '18 at 21:11

all you have to do is follow this post

How to set a value to a file input in HTML?

In there is a reazon for what that is not permitted:

You cannot due to security reasons.

Imagine:

<form name="foo" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" value="c:/passwords.txt">
</form>
<script>document.foo.submit();</script>

You don't want the websites you visit to be able to do this, do you? =)
