How to execute a script from a browser? [closed]
Sebastian Wright
I've abash script on my machine and my client needs to use this script through remote connections. I don't want them to access my source code so I have to give them a tool i.e a html page through which they can only execute my script without being able to view or modify the script.
How can I do that?

Not by default from a browser unless you can find and exploit a bug that lets you. Browsers are sandboxed to prevent executing code on the system itself.
What you would need to execute a script from a browser:
- Apache. There is a package called lampserver that installs a working webserver with apache, mysql, and support for using php, perl, python.
- A coding language supported by your browser to create something clickable (javascript, php, etc) in the browser.
- Software on the server to act on that clickable something and execute that script you want to start.
