In short, you can't do this with client-side JavaScript because its
insecure.

(Note that ActiveX allows communication around the MS Windows "operating
system" only; check out MS's support pages)

There is no File class in standard JavaScript.

You can use server-side JavaScript with the correct server software. The
main environment for running server-side JavaScript is Microsoft's ASP.
You can't run server-side JavaScript within a browser (this is
client-side); client-side JavaScript can never magically become
server-side JavaScript.
