Default path for Browse button

Hi everybody!

Yesterday I've stuck in a problem and still can't solve it. So here is my question:
Is it possible to define a default path for Browse button (when using <input type=file ...>)
I just want to create two Browse buttons: one of them opens a folder on the server and another one C: root on user's computer...

So I'd be very glad if someone can help me to figure it out!..

My understanding is, you can't use <input type="file"... to browse through your server file directory. It's a big big security issue. You can display your directory structure using serverside language like PHP. But that would be dangerous too.

Ok. Well, I just needed to give to user an opportunity to choose user picture not only from his HDD, but from previously loaded pictures on the server...

Well, then I suppose I'll use PHP to show all the pictures situated on the server.
