Browse a netowrk drive

[zzfive03]

Good day.

Is there a VB method for browning a known network directory and being able to list the files in a web page. I am not intrested in modifying the files, just lisiting the file names.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That did appear to show me how to connect to my local server and look for a particular file name. But.. How would i search a known directory for "*.txt" and have it return me a list of all TXT files? What I am looking for is a search tool that allows wildcards.

Thanks!!

Set BrowseContents = FSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(&quot;.&quot)

response.write &quot;<TABLE>&quot;
for each BrowsedFile in BrowseContents.Files
FExtBegPos = InStrRev(BrowsedFile.Name, &quot;.&quot

Thanks Gerard, that is EXACTLY what i am looking for.

One last question. The folder i am trying to search is a mapped network drive. I tyred to modify the line:
Set BrowseContents = FSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(&quot;../../../../g&quot)

I can get all the way up to my

http://wwwroot

folder, but I cant seem to &quot;switch drives&quot; is there a special way to do this? (FYI 'G' is my mapped drive)

Thank you. Mark

define teh 'mapped drive' as a virtual directory with IIS (allow 'browse'), and use the name of that directory in the mappath. br

OK;

I created a virtural directory in IIS 4.0 called 'PrintFiles' This directory is has a physical path of &quot;\\ticasna05fs\printfiles&quot;. I can see it fine in my IIS explorer, but my script does not see it, nor can i see it if I attmept to view it in Windows explorer. (I assuem you can not see virtural direcotrys this way). DO I need to do something special in my script to view and search my &quot;printfiles&quot; direcotry.

(sorry, I am new to virtural directories)
Mh, Thanks

\\ticasna05fs is the webserver ?
if not: the webpage uses this IUSR_<servername> so it could be an authorization problem.

if yes: you must put a &quot;/&quot; before the virtual directory name: Server.MapPath(&quot;/PrintFiles&quot

STILL having problmes.. I setup the IUSR_<servername> I get a message:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800a004c'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/mark.asp, line 4

The operation completed successfully.
