Finding Absolute File Path On Server?
I am trying to create a log of certain events on the website by writing them
to a text file. The logging code is in an "included" file that is inserted
into the pages that need to be monitored. Currently, the target text file is
just specified in the FSO MapPath as "thelog.txt", so it writes the log to a
text file within the same folder as the web page.
The problem is that I don't want to grant browsers Write access to my pages
folder, so I need to have a separate directory to hold the log text file
that browsers can have Write access to. The web site is hosted on a shared
server that I do not have direct access to. In the past, occasionally an
error has popped up that states the exact location, but I can not get that
to repeat. I know it is something like "D:customersmyuseridwww"
How can I find out the actual location on the server so I can use an
absolute path to write all the logs to one file in one location?

I have a web project that has multiple directories. Some of the files in
different directories use the same include files. The problem is that these
include files also reference an image folder. I am trying to create an
absolute reference to these images so I don't have to make the same include
for different directories. What is the best way to do this?

Is there something similar to PHP's php_info command to tell me all about the server? I need to find the actual path where the site resides.

I need to load the file path of a file on a web server into a form text box. I tried using a normal form box using type=file but that just seems to return the file path from the local machine.
Ideally I'd like it if someone can get this to work with a file on a web server without using asp. If not then I suppose I'd have to use the FileSystemObject method. I can see how you can get a list of files from a remote server using FileSystemObject.
The problem I need help with is selecting a file path from the list of files into a text form box. The path of which I am then going to write to a database field.

I'm using vbscript in ASP to loop through and rename the files passed to it in a form. When I output the text to the screen of the filenames etc it's all working fine.
However, when I try to get the rename code working, if I select more than one, ASP tells me the 2nd/3rd etc file does not exist. The first one always renames ok.
I presume this is something to do with the Server.MapPath, but what exactly I have no idea! My code is below, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Code:

I have a subdirectory with it's own images folder. All the image paths in the pages in the sub directory are "image/image.jpg" When I Response.Redirect to a page in the subdirectory the images are fine but when I use Server.Transfer all the links are broken. I'd prefer to use the relative paths. Is there a way around this in the Server.Transfer?

I've got the directory f:CompanyProduct set as web shared so it's got a
virtual directory in the default web site on my test server's IIS. If I try
to use Server.MapPath in that site it returns a path within
c:Inetpubwwwroot rather than the real path.
Can anyone please tell me why this isn't working?

I have a problem. I tried my best but could not solve is. I have a
page where user selects the folder name from a drop down list. It takes
user to show.asp page, where it how all the files in the folder and
also user can click on them and download them. If I select name of the
folder from the list, on show.asp it shows all the files and their
link.
When I click on the link then most of the file which has long
name and have space in their names wont be hyper linked. For example if
files name is Virus Control.vsd or file name is INCIDENT-ACCIDENT
INVESTIGATION REPORT.htm. If I click on them it will say "The page
cannot be found". Code:

I have setup a site that allows users to login with a username and a password that are stored in a mysql database,
now what i need to do is set it up so the users can only download specific file(s) related to their username.
With my current set up using all asp and iis 5.0 all the users can download the same file from a certain directory.
I was thinking of somehow using the session variable of the username as a variable in the download path of the file, but i don't
know if this is a correct method of doing this or the correct syntax.

In my ASP file, located at the "/test" directory of the website, I include another ASP file as below.
<!--#include file="../templates/_header.asp"-->
Inside the _header.asp file, how can I get the current file (_header.asp) directory? I need to get the web relative/absolute directory of _header.asp, but instead even if I can get the physical directory location of that file should be fine.
I tried Request.ServerVariables("") with almost all the variables, but none gave me what I wanted. This is necessory, becase the location of _header.asp and the file which includes that can vary.

I am attempting to upload files to a folder on a remote server. However the folder is different for each user based on login. Is there anyway to do this using the code below. If not can someone tel me of a way to do it.
Dim DestinationPath
DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("UploadFolder")
what I'm doing is executing a query based on login for a varible called "uploadFolder", so I want my destination path to be something like
<% DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("rsRecord(uploadFolder)")%>
Of course my code doesn't work,

does any one here know of a good way to to determine whether or not a
given path is a directory (e.g., "c:mydir") or a file (e.g., "c:mydir
myfile.txt")?
i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check
whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a
directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if
so, it was a file path. Code:

The file uploader code I've been using won't let me use Request.Form and BinaryRead on the same page so I've resorted to having the file upload code on another, seperate page that is spawned from the first. Trouble is, the path to store the file at is determined on the first page and I don't know how to pass it along to the second.

I usually use SQL Server, but have occasionally had to use Access. This is
such an occasion. My research, mainly at aspfaq.com, has been that you need
to put the file path in your connection string, like this (watch out for the
wrap):
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:mydirectorynamedbname.mdb;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxxxx;"
Well, the host of this new site I am working on is asking me if a relative
path will work. I don't think it will, but thought I should ask.

I have a simple asp form which writes to a csv.
The code it's based on (from "ASP for Dummies") is:
Set peoplefile - _
filesys.OpenTextFile( _
"c:inetpubwwwrootgbgbpeople.txt",1)
The form is going live soon, and I'd like just a dash of due diligence
in terms of security. I tried using a relative link to the gbpeople.txt
file which didn't work. Is there a better way around this without
reinventing?

Is there a way to determine the filepath of an ASP script being executed, like so? First file contains:
<%
For Each x In arrNuggets
Server.Execute "/nuggets/" & x & "/default.asp"
Next
%>
The executed file, default.asp, needs to be able to figure out what it's parent folder name is.
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") only returns the name of the first initial page loaded, and nothing about the page currently being executed.
