Is there a way to load a text file from a remote server into a string much like using the Inet Control in VB? I am familiar with reading in RSS feeds, but what should I do if the content is a straight text file?
View RepliesI 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.
We are working on a real estate web site which lists real estate listings from different affiliated realtors.
Our client wants to have a system where it display real estate listings from affiliated realtors without having to enter listing information into our database.
Affiliated realtor will provide a link to xml file containing listings information and we have to fetch the data from it and display it into our web site. The xml file will be on some other server.
Is this possible?
I need to read a simple txt file where there are some variables. I've done
this a lot of times but in this case I have something different: the text
file is located at an ftp server.
The FTP server has anynomous access.
Anyone know how can I do this?
I have an application which was successfully writing data from submitted forms to a text file in a directory - in this case:
/data/findata.txt
This was fine because the forms lived at the root level with this directory.
Since then I have added enabled the forms to be used on subdirectories :
/subdirectory/myform.asp
I've used the same code for server.mapparth("data") etc - but instead of locating the directory at the root of the server called "data" it looks to the current directory- doesn't find it and creates another! eek!
What I need is a way to say "right, it doesnt matter what level you are at at the moment, always look at the root level /data directory"...
This has to be fairly dynamic - on the development server here its got a different file structure than on the live server (ie, it lives another level down again on the physical drive)...
Anyone got a good idea on how to look back up?
I do have one way to test which level they are at - but I feel that its a bit 'weak' - I have an ID that tells me if they are working on the upper or lower levels (ie, anything other than 1 is a lower level) - whilst I realise I could use this in the test I'm not sure if its going to be 100% fool proof to base this criteria on this ID.
Therefore I was hoping for a better way using the server.mappath etc...
the source code is:
<%
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt")
mystring=a.readAll
Response.Write ("<pre>" & mystring & "</pre>")
Set a = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
%>
The output is:
abc
ABC
i don't understand this:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt")
what should be insect in ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")?
and what should be insect in (Server.MapPath("") & "/learn.txt") ?

I'd like to do the above, ideally in javascript but i'm aware of the security restrictions with accessing the DOM of a file not hosted on the same server - however i'm not looking to manipluate anything on the remote site, or handle any events (such as keylogging!). All i want is to have a piece of text on the remote site dupicated on my own site.
I'm happy to receive the html as a whole and split it up to get what i want, but i'm beginning to think the way forward is doing it server-side with asp.
Anyone know the best way to do this?
OR am i just being silly and there is a way to copy the contents of a remote page into my own page in javascript, split it up and only display what i need.
(btw im quite happy with the splitting up bit, no help needed there - i just need the blasted text in the first place!)

I have downloaded an ASP WYSIWYG editor but I cant fingure out how to load an asp file into the editor. I think what I need to do is to load the file into the variable and then the editor loads the variable and formats the code accordingly. But I just don't know how to load the asp file into the variable. Here's my code so far:
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("Test/7610.asp"), 1)
Dim DataTransfer
DataTransfer = f.ReadAll

View Replies View RelatedI work with dreamweaver 8. I use the tools provided within dw to create my asp features etc. I downloaded a news script to save time since its a very low budget site, but I need to customise how its displayed.
The news script connects using a Server.MapPath connection. I would like to be able to work locally using a dsn. dsn=nwnews; but I would like to be able to change that connection to work on the remote server for testing etc.
This is Dreamweavers Connection file: Code:
We're wanting to upload files and save them to a different server on the network (Windows 2000) from the web server. The upload works fine but we cannot copy files, using the File System Object, to this other server folder.

I just want to delete a file in a server by FSO. My code is:

When I check the code locally, everything is fine. I have two remote servers. When I check the code in each servers, one is fine and other is thrown a error. But the error msg is in Korean language while I'm not korean, that is why I can't read the error

Currently we have a site that allows users to listen to mp3 files. It is creating bandwidth issues. So we want to move the mp3 files to an ISP that caps bandwidth usage. Ours is currently burstable.
Now I am able to do the following:

If fs.fileExists(music_file) Then
'show music file
Else
'do not show a link for file
End If
set fs = nothing
Is it possible to do the same thing, but on a remote server?
I have 4 computers using Network Load Balancing. They all share 1 Virtual IP to take requests on. I can't tell what server is taking the request when I view a page. I want to make sure the NLB is working correctly. Is there a way to get the name of the machine or something using asp?
View Replies View RelatedI am writing a small CMS type system for our intranet at work and I am trying to have a main "index.asp" that does all the work in a template folder and every time I add a new section instead of making a new copy of this file I would like to have some generic "index.asp" file that is nearly empty that just calls the "template/index.asp" file and let's it do the work.
The way each page in the intranet works is by using the same asp file but by having a few configuration files in their directory that point it to different menus, titles etc.
Is there a way to load an asp file from another one? I tried creating an index.asp containing just <!-- #INCLUDE FILE="templates/index.asp"--> but it doesn't seem to do it.
Localy along with VS2005 when hitting ctrl+f5 the asp application server get's launched, and the whole site works fine, now on my windows 2003 server i installed IIS, it also has apache running and that works fine but the IIS part, i cant get it to work.... i have my inetpub filder on c which has a www folder but when i copy my project to there it tells me it's unable to process the page (aspx), can somebody help me out here please.....

1. I wonder, why do I need to add the following lines when sending forms through mail, using CDO component?
2. If I remove these lines and the form is still submitted as it should, and I get the mail as a result as it should, does it mean I do not need these lines?
3. In other words - How do I know if an SMTP service is installed on the local server, and not in another network (besides asking the admin)? Code:

View Replies View RelatedWish I'd found the thread yesterday before spending half the day fighting
the same battle and finding a workaround. But at least it explains why my
final approach worked.I set the remote folder as a virtual folder on the webserver, assigned web rights to a domain user and used fso.copyfile(server.mappath) to copy a
file created locally.I'm not thrilled that access to the remote location can't be controlled at the user level this way but at least access to the calling script can.
Strange though, the problem showed up during a migration. Server A had been
hosting this asp page and connecting to server B sucessfully. I was moving
the application to server C when I ran into the problem. All three machines
are W2K, same service pack, same domain, same users, same access
rights/method configuration. Go figure.
I try to get data from a database which is on an other server. I can view the files on this server via the directory "t:" from the machine the ASP pages are on.

Error:
't:Database.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
I need to connect to a SQL db on a remote server but my connection string doesn't appear to work as the page just keeps timing out. The physical url of the db is (not real IP) 0.0.0.0/Databases/query and the connection string looks like so:

What should the connection string look like?

View Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem viewing a pdf file via intranet from the remote location. When I view it from the server side it works. Here is the code and the file name.
This is what the path looks like in the Access 2k database. c:/Inetpub/WWWroot/TEB/Documents Okay this is what happens, when I use this path it doesn't open the file because it's looking for it on my local machine.
But when I use this path f:/Inetpub/WWWroot/TEB/Documents in which F: is mapped to the server where the web site is locate it opens the file. If I use this method this would mean mapping everyone to this server which causes a security issue.
I cannot allow anyone to view or modify my files for the intranet, they may become corrupted. So what I need is some kind of alias or something that. Is there a way that I can capture the c drive from the server using Access 2k without using the actual c: format so that it will read from the server and not the local pc. Code:
