I'm trying to create this web-page that has access to the file-system and demonstrates the structure of my folders in a tree path panel, while after clicking on a file, you van preview the file on the square space on the left side in the same page.
I was trying to find a way to access my filesystem using JavaScript and display it as i mentioned but i couldn't.
i have a prototype for this as an image but looks like i can't upload it here.
Help!

By principle, webapps and Javascript don't have access to client file system because of a silly reason named Security.
What would you think if any website had access to your file system?
