I need to create a script that deletes all pdf files in a folder that are over 1 day old. I know I need to use the file system object and datediff but can't for the life of me work it out. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to more complicated asp .
Does anyone have a script that does this or know of a tutorial that will teach me how to do it?

View Replies View RelatedI developed an ASP intranet solution but I have problems with the DeleteFolder command. If I try to delete a folder without subfolders everything goes fine. If I add some files in the folder that must be deleted it is going to be ok. I can also add some subfolders and I don't have problems but when I add more subfolders with other subfolders and files I get an error of forbidden authorization on the line where there is the DeleteFolder command. This happens randomly and sometimes I can see that only a subfolder hasn't been deleted (while the rest is deleted from the hard disk). If I try to delete it normally windows tell me that I can't delete it! I have to reboot my system in order to delete it!
I checked the permissions and everything seems ok. I can delete specific files and folders but I can't understand why I get this problem.

View Replies View RelatedI know this is not an ASP question but it is a Vbscript question and thats why i post it here. It goes like this. I've been making a treeview in dhtml recently for an intranet. Now i was wondering if it would be possible to make this treeview on the fly with vbscript.
My page is pure html so no asp and should give me the content of the folder in wich the html page is located as well as all subfolders. I know microsoft script page has an example of vbscriptcode that can do this(the enumerating part), but for some unknown reason it doesnt seem to work.
Is there anyone out there who knows how to do this or has done so. (ps i know i can do it with iframes without the treeview, but i would like to make it nice and clean. So html and vbscript seem better).
Am developing a website, thats only allows user with permission to acces certain file.
What I have is a webpage that list all different projects available. When a user clicks on a project, he is asked to enter username and password.
If succesful the user is then taken to a webpage displaying all files available to download for that particular project. Note: All the files asssociated with particular project are in necessary folder. So project London, has a folder called london with all its files in that folder.
How do I get all the files displayed on the webpage for that particular project?
Could anybody show me an example of code to upload files from a local drive, and delete files from the website. of course the easiest way to do that is to use any FTP client.

How would I get an ASP page to delete an image file, probably a .jpg off the server.
Basically, what I want to do, is that when the user deletes a product item from the database, it will also delete the corresponding image file from the images folder. So that the server space doesn't just fill up with redundant image files over time.
If it makes any difference the image files are uploaded using a PHP script, I've no idea how it works, but it does.
I have a Product and that product contains some documents.The documents are uploaded to server and can be viewed in my asp application.
In admin module i have given option to edit or delete that product.In the event of edit just the records in the database get changed.But in the case of delete i have to do 2 things
1. Delete all the data related to that product.
2. Delete all the related documents for that product in the server.
So can anybody help me figure out how to delete a file using asp in ftp server.
I understand how to delete files within a directory using the Scripting.FileSystemObject.
However, how can I delete a directory using ASP 2.0 on an older IIS 4.0 server? Do I need to:
1. Delete all the files within the directory.
2. Change the directory's permissions.
3. Delete the directory.
Am I able to delete a directory without changing the permissions? Can I delete a directory with files inside the directory or does the directory need to be empty?

I won't have the name of the file...

View Replies View Relatedhow to automatically "include" all .asp files from a folder? Say I have an ASP page and there's a folder with 3 documents in it: /myfolder/file1.asp, /myfolder/file2.asp, /myfolder/file3.asp.

I have client who has database full of crap. One field in the "property" table is imageurl. I have been able to successfully extract only the file name from the string, such as "2030323.jpg". All images are stored in a directory called "listings". What I am trying to do is to loop through the recordset, and read each imageurl.
If there is an image file in the "listings" directory, then delete the file. It appears that some fields contain imageurls that no longer exist in the listing directory. Here is the code I have so far, I almost had it, as it told me at one point the file didn't exist. Then I screwed up the code and this is where I am at: Code:
I try to do a multiple delete of files through FileSystemObject, but after deleting the first file, ASP gives me a "Permission denied" error. Below you see my code:

delFile = path2 & "files" & Item
fso.DeleteFile delFile

I know this is going to be blindingly simple but I've had one of those days where the more I search and try, the further away from finding the solution I am!
What I'm trying to do is really simple, but the last part of it I can't seem to get right... hopefully someone will spot it straight away.

qDate = DateAdd("d", -7, Now())
Response.write qDate
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Folder = objFSO.GetFolder(fPath)
For Each i In Folder.Files
If i.DateCreated <= qDate Then
'objFSO.DeleteFile(i.Name)
Response.Write i.Name & "<br>"
End If
Next
Set i = nothing
Set Folder = nothing

As you can see, I've got down to selecting all the week old files no problem, but when I come to execute the 'objFSO.DeleteFile(i.Name)' line - I either get file not found or nothing at all.
Something to do with the ServerPath?

I have a website that we display images we have saved into a SQL Server 2000 database as binary BLOB. This is on a Windows 2003 Server. Just recently (a week ago) this website began to save the images it is displaying on the website as ASP pages in the Temporary Internet Files > IE.Content > Folder.
We have other websites where we use the exact same code and these do not save files on the server when they are displayed.
Here is the code to display the image:
Set rs = objConn.Execute( SQL )
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.BinaryWrite rs("Product_Image")
SQL is the SQL String to get the image from database
When I add this code:
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
The images still display on the website, but now are saved in the Temporary Internet Files folder as JPG's.
