This should be trivial, but apparently not -- or maybe I just need more caffeine. My searches have come up empty.

I am trying to get not only the original file name on uploads, but also the original directory on the client machine as well.

The purpose is for users who make a mistake on another part of the form; when the form is returned for them to complete properly, all of the correct values are automatically filled in. That's trivial in most instances, but I'm not finding a solution for file uploads.

This seems like a common need. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff



AFAIK that info is outside the security sandbox of web browsers; just like you can't resend the file or autopopulate what file you want them to upload.

only way is to use a third party browser extension or app; java uploader or such like and you may have some luck.
