I have a browser based ASP application that runs on a local client Windows machine without the need of IIS.
I would like to offer an online backup service for the datafile and want to be able to make the process "one click".
Using the input type="file" tag brings up the browse button and the user has to find the file. You can't hard code the path to the file with the value= attribute.
I've seen programs like Quicken and QuickBooks use an online backup for their datafiles, and I would need something similar to, but not nearly as complicated as that system.
Also, I need a retrieval system as well, which will get the one file, and download it to the correct folder without user input.
The correct directory is stored in the registry, so this won't be difficult to obtain.
It looks like I will need a C++ or VB program to do this.
If you write, I'll be happy to explain further. You can write me at

Thanks.
