How to Upload local file to remove server when both Service and Client exist on remote server.

Hello,
I am developing a WCF service where both the client and the service exist on the same remote server and the client is accessed via a browser from uses local PC. The Service is a WCF Service Library and the client is a ASP.NET Web form application. I need the service to request that a file be uploaded from the user's Local drive (eg C:/uploads/instructions.xlmx). If the Client was running on the local machine then this would not be an issue. However because the client is on a remote server (which knows nothing about the Local PC) I am struggling with how I can go about this. The one thing to note here is that the instruction to transfer file from Local PC to remote server will always come from the service.

Appreciate any advise I can get on this. Please explain in details as I am relatively new to this.

regards
Pat

Hi David,
the user will select an option on the client which in turn will load the file from a selected folder on their local drive. It is the loading of the file from their local drive to the server that I am unsure about.
