You want to build a web page using java server pages (JSP) that allows you to access the files on a computer in your local area network (LAN) that is not the web server?

You posted in the javascript forum, but you mention using JSP. I don`t know JSP, but to do what you want depends on the environment. Will your webserver be on the LAN? If so, you can create virtual directories in the webserver that are linked to folders on the workstation harddrive. What do you want to be able to do with the files? Do you need the ability to browse folders and files on the remote harddrive?

If you want full control of the workstation computer, not just access to a folder or drive, then you can use several options. One is the Remote Desktop Advanced Client from Microsoft which allows you to remote control via an IE browser session a computer that accepts RDP connections. Remote Desktop is free from Microsoft.

Another option is VNC (Virtual Network Computing). VNC is a free remote control utility developed in the AT&T labs. It has been a popular tool with server admins for remote controlling servers. It`s beauty is that it is extremely small and works across OS -- you can remote control a Linux server from Windows and vica versa.
