Help needed in gathering client info...

[Lukas]

Hi,<BR> I am trying to get the client machine name which accesses an ASP/ASP.Net page runnig on the server. I also need to figure out the location of the windows system directory on the client box. The reason is, the server needs to push a file into the client box on a specified location. I was suggested (from another user group) I will have to come up with an ActiveX control to do that. Are there any sample code available to do this?<BR>Thanks a bunch<BR>-Siva RamaswamiBefore we answer, can you please explain WHY you would want to write something to the windows system directory? Sounds an awful lot like you're up to no good...I just picked up windows system32 directory as an example. IT could be any location retrieved from an environment parameter or from a registry entry. Thats not important. What is important to me is how to push a file from the web server into a known location on the client box. Pl let me know if you have any ideas without nit picking.<BR>Thanks<BR>-Siva
