In most browsers, clicking on the link will open the file directly in the browser. But, if you add the download attribute to the link, it will tell the browser to download the file instead. The download attribute works in all modern browsers, including MS Edge, but not Internet Explorer.
Try below code allow you to access client side file system but this works only in IE browser
<html>
<body>
<script language="JScript">
<!--
function getsize()
{
var myObject, afile, size;
myObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
afile = myObject.GetFile("c:\\test.txt")
size = afile.Size;
alert("The size of the test.txt file is:" + size);
}
-->
</script>
Get the size for the file "test.txt"
<form name="myForm">
<input type="Button" value="Get Size" onClick='getsize()'>
</form>
</body>
</html>
