I was wondering if there was a way that I could upload a file, using ASP, Javascript, VBscript, through code only. At the absolute most the user would type the file name. I would already know the directory it is housed in on the client machine.

I would like to get an xml file that is created by another software application from the client machine to my server with as little interaction from the user as possible. My bosses do not want the user to browse for the file. They want a one button click and the file is sent to a directory on our server. We can't use FTP, for firewall reasons, this is going to be on multiple client machines, in different geographical locations, through out the country (hopefully). Any help is always appreciated.
 
You might end up with some security popup warning on the browser depending on how the settings.

If I was doing this project I would start by doing a search on google or even on this site for these two things:
1) Pure ASP File Upload
2) XMLHTTP object

I would be looking to use the 1st one (or some variation thereof) for the server side and the 2nd one for the browser client.
