Ajax only works on server files, AFAIK.

You can put an external JS file on the USB drive
so long as you reference it in the same directory as the HTML.

JS is not a very good language for projects with security issues.
All scripts (with passwords, authorization, etc.) can be viewed in a browser.

you can use <input type='file' multiple /> to load files from any drive.
for IE browsers, you'll have to upload it temporarily to a server and ajax the response back to javascript. modern browsers can read the file data directly from the input without using the network...
