Hi i jus have a quick question regarding the code that can be accessed via the link below...

What it is, is that i would like to access a folder from a different server outside of the server which the code is saved in. Is this possible??

The code line below should be changed i guess i have tried writing in the server name but this does not work.. help!!

sDirectory = "../" 'Where "sDirectory" is the top level browsable directory

The code was found from the following link

THANKS!!

Not unless both servers are controlled by you. Any then only if you allow it (groups/permissions). Otherwise, I could search your harddrive for files.

Yes they are both controlled by me, sorry about the above link i typed in the wrong one! the code i am using is shown below!

Line 88:

sDirectory = "//servername" 'Where "sDirectory" is the top level browsable directory

Lines 125 to 155
'Get subfolder (sDir) from passed querystring
sDir = sDirectory & Request.querystring("dir"
sDir = trim(sDir)
If right(sDir,1) <> "/" Then sDir = sDir & "/"

'This next part of code keeps users from browsing directories outside of the shared.
'It puts the user back into the default directory.

sFolder = Server.MapPath( sDir )
sDirFolder = Server.MapPath( sDirectory )
sSubFolder = right(sDir,len(sDir)-len(sDirectory))

If instr( sFolder , sDirFolder ) = 0 Then
sFolder = sDirFolder
sSubFolder = ""
sError = sError & " Path not authorized;" 'Does not authorise folders to be viewed outside share
End If

'This loads the file system and navigates to the shared folder.
Set objFileObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"
Set objFolder = objFileObject.GetFolder( sFolder )

'If the folder cannot be found or has been misspelled we can use the following code
If IsEmpty( objFolder ) Then
sFolder = sDirFolder
sSubFolder = ""
sDir = sDirectory
Set objFolder = objFileObject.GetFolder( sFolder )
sError = sError & " Folder not found;"

End If

I don't think is a "what code" thing. Just map a drive or create a virtual directory so that the folder(s) . The network admins guys usually make this happen.
