Web.config allow directory browsing? 1

[joelwenzel]

Hello,

I am developing an intranet site and I want to allow users to browse a directory. How do I configure the web.config file to allow this?

I don't think you can do that, directory browsing is set up through IIS.

oh..I didn't even know that

Just open the IIS manager and right click on the folder you want to let browsing on and check Directory Browsing

Sorry, you have to navigate down through the Web Site folder and right click on properties first.

ok..thank you so much. Now I have an additional issue. I want users to be able to drag items into the folder (ie write to it). This sort of seems possible since I can view the folder in explorer like a browser. However, when I view the folder from the actual website, it is in html. Is there a way to allow users to view it normally?

Perhaps I have to set up an ftp to do what I want, eh?

I don't know if there is a way to do that. You can use ftp as you say or use the file upload HTML conrol.
