I need some help.

I work for a company that is currently moving its web servers over to a Windows 2000 and IIS 5 server. I have recently been told that " 'parent paths' will be disabled due to security reasons. An example of such code is:

<!--#include file=&quot;../includes/header_include.asp&quot;-->

However, Note this only affects code that is run on the server. The following HTML code will still work correctly:

<a href=&quot;../newfolder/xyz.asp&quot;>Click Here</a> &quot;

I have looked through our site and can not find such code, however programming is not my strong suit and at this point I probably know just enough about this subject to seriously screw things up.

My question is can someone explain &quot;parent pathing&quot; in regards to what this cryptic message means, or direct me somewhere that can explain it to me.

Hi mate,

The ../ means that it is up one directory. ../../ means 2 and so on..

For example if you had a directory called images and your page that referenced the image was a sub directory then you could use ../imagename.gif rather than the full path from the root directory.

If you need any more help, just ask..

Hope this helps Wullie
