Hey all!

I'm trying to figure out how to write a piece of code that uses a browse button to select a file's location (much like when you are uploading a file but I only care about the file's location as I'm just going to connect to it). Any advice? I've been browsing around trying to find a solution and haven't found much.

Thanks, as always!

~Brandi

Would either the java.awt.FileDialog or the javax.swing.JFileChooser class fit the bill?

It looks to me like either of those would do the trick. Thanks, Ulf!
