This cannot be done with javascript alone. If you mean on the server, you would have to gate to server side code. This could be done with something AJAX'y, or with a simple form (no javascript required), and various methods in between and the server-side code would vary depending upon what if anything that does that is available to and enabled for you on that server.

If you mean on the user's computer, there is Active X in IE and Java (not javascript) for others, as well as IE. These are subject to heavy security restrictions though.

What exactly are you trying to do?
