You cannot unilaterally pull data from the client to the server. That would be a security hole.
The best you could do is provide a file upload form with comments explaining to the user what file to upload and where it is likely to be found on their PC (perhaps using browser type detection to help with those hints).

You _might_ be able to do it with ActiveX to people who run Internet Explorer. As NogDog said, it is a security hole. But ActiveX _can_ access any file on the user's computer, the user just has to click OK when prompted.
There is a popular Israeli photo-printing service that uses ActiveX to browse the user's hard drive. I can give you a link if you like. The site is in Hebrew, but you may be able to figure out how it works.
