Maybe I have been misunderstood. I am not trying to run my code in a 
browser and access the client fs from the browers. My software package 
is compiled to bytecode of native using the ocam compiler. All I want to 
do is to create a javascript version and run it under nodejs (which runs 
on the client machine) to provide user which don't have an installed 
ocaml compiler suite on their machine to run my software package.

Note that nodejs has full access to the filesystem like any other 
program written in any programming language like C, ocaml, java, scala,...
