Can We execute an exe that is in client side?

Question

Is there any way to execute exe(say notepad.exe) that is in client? If so.. how can i do that from server side.? I know its a security violation..still i want to know.

Answer 1

There are generally two ways to do this:

1. Via a security loophole in your system; which should be patched up as soon as possible.
2. Via a mechanism such as click-once, which requires the user to confirm that they want to download the application and run it.
