List Files from a server

[dvannoy]

I am trying to list files from a server into a web page for downloading. I created the virtual directory in IIS just fine and it shows all the files in that directory. But, I am still getting "A virtual path is expected." error.

what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance


Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("FolderName")
Dim files() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path)

System.IO.Direcotry.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("../../directory/"))
or
System.IO.Direcotry.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("~/directory/"))
or
System.IO.Direcotry.GetFiles(@"\\server\driver\directory\")
or
System.IO.Direcotry.GetFiles(@"driveLetter:\directory")

any of these should work

I believe the @ symbol is for C#, looks like you're using VB, so leave it out...

how do I point the path to my virtual directory.

You can do Request.PhysicalApplicationPath()
