fatihbarut Hi all, I need to check if a pdf file in the client machine exists ( to upload it to server). I need to check C:\Myprogram\Temp folder for 20 seconds and if MyDocument.pdf comes in it I want to upload it to server. Is there any easy way to do this? Thank you.

It's not possible. Browser security will not allow a web application to upload files from the user's machine. The user must select the files.
A desktop application (file listener) can implement this type of feature.
