title: MS SQL Bulk Insert from local machine
body: <p>I'm very new to MS SQL, and I ran into this problem: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2850205/cannot-bulk-load-the-file-c-data-txt-does-not-exist">Cannot bulk load. The file &quot;c:\data.txt&quot; does not exist</a></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to give co-workers a custom query with variable input (they will use different input.txt daily). I understand that for Bulk Insert to work, the input file needs to be on the server.</p>
  
  <p>There seem to be a couple of solutions: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/440289/ms-sql-server-bulk-insert-across-a-network">MS SQL Server - Bulk Insert Across a Network</a></p>
  
  <p>What would be the best way to upload a local file progmatically? </p>
