File copying from local to server without user / FTP

[sraul]

Hi,

I have a client machine and a server machine. There is a desktop application that is suppose to transfer the file from local to server machine. The desktop application will make a call to PHP script on the server and will pass the filename with absolute path (example: D:\upload\samplefile.txt).

I am trying to find a way out to read the content of file from local machine using the parameters send to PHP Script. This is to be done without using FTP.

Can anyone help me out in this?

Thanks a million.
