    Question FileSystemObject and UNC

    Is it possible to get the names of files in a folder using the FSO and a UNC within an ASP?

    e.g.
    Set objFileSys = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set Fldrs = objFileSys.GetFolder("\\fileserver\temp\")
    and then loop through the file names there.

    The files there are all VBScripts (.vbs) and I want to dynamically build up a page of hypertext links to those so that simply adding a new .vbs file will let it show up on the links page.

    Thanks, DaveBo

    You should use

    Response.write Server.MapPath("FileOrFolderName")

    That will give you the full physical path of the file/folder.

    There is a great war coming. Are you sure you are on the right side? Atleast I have chosen a side.

    I'm trying to get a list of the files in a folder at a UNC path.

    When I tried using a UNC in the Server.MapPath I got the following error msg:

    Server.MapPath(), ASP 0174 (0x80004005)
    An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.
