Accesing local filesystem and extracting file metadata using web app
<p>I am trying to build a web application which can do this:
1. Through the web application User selects some files present on his machine's filesystem.
2. Web application then extracts metadata of selected files like filename, size, filetype and stores it in a database at server.</p>

<p>So I need two things - 1. web app should be able to access the filesystem of user and 2. web app should be able to extract metadata of selected files.</p>

<p>Is it possible to do this?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
