Answer 1

You can't.

File inputs are designed to upload files.

For security reasons, they conceal information about where exactly the file came from. In the context of the WWW, it should not matter to the server where the user kept the file on their computer.

Even though you are using an HTTP server and web browser in a non-WWW content, you can't override these security features.
