File System Objects
I am using the below code to try and make sure a file exists before it is uploaded. When the below code runs and it does the fso.FileExists check, if strValue equals C:TestTestFile.txt, is the code looking on the web server or is it looking on the users machine to see if the file exists?
set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
for each strValue in Request.Form("lstAttachments")
If fso.FileExists (strValue) then
Found = true
Else
Found = false
End if
next
The reason I ask is I assumed the code could look on the user’s machine. Is this possible? If not, I assume the logic a programmer needs to follow is first upload all files that need to be uploaded and then do the exists check. Is this correct?

I have code that loops through a directory reading files..
now the problem is that files are constantly being uploaded and I only want the file system object to read those that are finished being uploaded.
How can I check the properties of the file to see if it's in middle of being written before i read the file?

This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with
..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced
the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e.
"renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a
couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other
file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I
get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file
system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:

i am currently working on a project in which part of the requirements are to store files on the Server filesystem and make these files available for download by users. Is there a simple way to provide the user with a link which starts downloading the file when it is clicked?

The OS is Windows 2000. I have a asp with 2 frames. On the left I have a
menu and one of the options open the file system on the right frame,
using file://. My problem is that when a user double click a folder
instead of showing the content of the folder only in the frame the
content is showed in all the window, so I lost the menu on the left.
This problem happen in win 2000, in winxp i have no problem.

I have a web site that uses NT authentication. It accesses a file on another server using FSO. The user has full control of that file yet when trying to access it via the website they get a Access Denied error. Shouldn't IIS use the current security context (which has rights to file) to access the file?

I am building an upload script that overwrites any file with the same name, however the file could be a jpg, gif, bmp etc. Using 'fso.FileExists ' i can find if a file of the same name exists and remove it. The file will be saved as strMemberId.strFileExt. There is a possibility that file xyz.jpg may be re-uploaded as xyz.gif thus while the new image will be written to the folder the previous file will not be removed.
I am trying to find the best way of finding the file name of a file without the extension so I can delete any files that may exist with the same name but a have different extension. Is there a way of calling a wildcard in asp?
eg ' fso.FileExists(Server.MapPath("../tempfolder/" & strMemberId &".*" ))
' - tried this & several other combinations but it does not work.
The only other way I can see of doing it is to pass the file name into a string, strip the extension off it and then build an array to loop through the possible extensions but I am sure there is a better way.

I have script which is to check if a folder is existed. Even though the folder (virtual directory) is existed but the script objFSO.FolderExists() always return false.
The script as following:
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists("../images/thumb") Then
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath))
response.Write("Folder exists")
else
objFSO.CreateFolder(("../images/thumb")
response.Write("not existed")
end if

if it's possible to tell if a file is already open. If I have a file on the server that I just want to put log information to, and I don't want to have collisions obviously. Can I tell if the file is open already?
I would have the code loop until the file has been closed and then go ahead and do its thing. Alternatives are welcome. Databasing is an option, but I'd like to know anyway if the file can be "read" for open state.

I have recently built a web interface to handle files on my network at work. There has been another system in effect for quite some time, and we can't phase it out just yet. In this older system there is a lot of data pointing to files in a particular directory.
PHP Code:
// doesn't work. mypath=" heserversomedirectoryThat Has. a Decimal" // works mypath=" heserversomedirectoryThat doesnt have a Decimal" Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.Getfolder(mypath) Set fc = f.SubFolders

I have an ASP Page that reads in the contents of a directory on the web server. My page hangs when it gets to 'MyFolder=set fso.GetFolder(FlrPath)'.
The FldrPath holds the correct path and fso has been set to
'Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")'
what could be causing this?

Does using the File system object multiple times across the page to check if relevant files exist use a lot of memory/server resource etc?
if this were the case, I was going to change this to check a DB field instead. ie when a file is uploaded then this is logged accordingle in the DB, then it can be this field used to check as to whether to display it or not - or are either equally.

How can i save the textarea(retrieved from DB) data to client system as a textfile.
I am using filesystemobject to create a text file with the path
set fso=server.createObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set ctext=fso.createtextfile("c:mydata.txt",true)
ctext.close
set ctext=nothing
set fso=nothing
But it is storing in the server cwebserver c: drive)
My users will access simultaneously in my LAN. They use these textfiles to print in DOS mode. Coz it contains large and formated data and to print faster.
How can i store the generated output to the client system only instead of server. B'coz the data generated is diff for each user.

Is there any way of rollback any changes made by the file system object in
the event of an error. I delete a file and copy one somewhere and the copy
fails is there anyway to rollback the delete. Essentially a file system
version of a transaction.

What is the easiest way to 1) delete a File System Website Solution and 2) rename a File System Website solution?
I noticed when I create the ASP.NET Web Site (via File System location option) that I get one directly with my code (.aspx etc files). but the solution is under the default Visual Studio directory. So I assume if I delete these two directories then my solution is really gone?
Renaming a solution seems to be a bit more tricky - what would be the easiest way to rename the solution and the associated directory with the acutal code (.aspx etc files)?

i am looking into using the File System object on an intranet through ASP so as the user can move files from there local drive onto the server drive.
i have got the code working moving files from one local drive to another but a problem arrises when i transfer from a local drive to a mapped network drive (the server).
the errror is: Permission Denied
the mapped network drive has full read and write access.
any ideas as to why this is happening, or is there a better way?

I have a script that checks a database for records and saves each record set as an asp file. The script uses the "FileSystemObject" to do this and is run once a month, so I can create an archive. (I have been asked to do it this way for SEO reasons)
In my database there is a field for date, and this date is entered as dd/mm/yyyy. My question is if its possible to have the FileSystemObject create a folder for each month and save the asp files into it? Code:
