  It's true, javascript does not give access to a user's file system.

  True, if we are talking client-side scripting. So, the javascript is in the html page, downloaded by the visitor, this script cannot access the file system OF THE VISITOR. However, if we are talking server-side scripting here, where the script is executed on the server, and the result is being sent to the visitor, the NOT TRUE. In this case, you have access to the file system (according to your access rights).



  Hope this helps.
