I am going crazy trying to figure out why the FileExists method of the FileSystem object returns false when the file passed to it DOES exist.
The FolderExists method of the same object recognizes the existence of the folder containing the files in question, but FileExists always returns false.
Here is my the relevant code:
<%
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fs.FileExists("index.stm") Then
CODE HERE
Else
CODE HERE
End If
%>
The problem is this: fs.FileExists("index.stm") always evaluates to false, even though I'm staring at the file "index.stm" as I type. In fact, I can open the file just fine, using the OpenTextFile() method. Checking to see if the file even exists is the problem.
Anybody have any ideas?
I have searched through the threads relating to FileExists, and have not found an answer (I did find one that dealt with using the FileExists method on a remote server, but that's not quite what I need to do.)
The script searches for all pictures in a particular folder on the server. The current script uses m:... as the path. The site will be transferred to a new host, and onto a shared server (so no more m:).
Here's the original snippet: .....
how to find the size of a pdf which is located on the server i know i have to use filesystemobject
View Replies View RelatedI have an asp template with tons of code in it. I want it to be saved into an HTML page once it is done generating the asp page. however the only way i have found possible is by inserting objTextStream.Writeline "<code here>" into every single line of html. Is there no faster way to generate an ASP page into html?
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to access remote directories using the filesystemobject and ASP. This only seems to work when the security is set to anonymous. However, I want to connect to the remote server and pass through the users credentials rather than the "connect as" anonymous credentials. The web server is 2003 and running IIS6.

I am trying to copy files across servers
I can successfully copy file from server1 to server4
but am not able to copy file from server2 to server4
If I use the code to check for file on server 4
ie
If Fileexists(server4filename) then
response.write("File exists")
else
response.write("File Does not exist")
end if
If I run this code from server1 I get file exists
But if I run the same code from server2 I get file does not exist.
I am logged on as the same user.
Could anyone PLEASE let me know what is the difference on both the servers ie. server 2 and server1.
It became clear to me that using a Request.Form object doesnt work after a Request.BinaryRead. I never had to deal with the BinaryRead Object Method, so this is quite new for me.
I'm using a script to upload files to my server (this script uses the Request.BinaryRead). Besides the file, users submit there name and a checkbox (if checked of course). I want to use the data submited by the user, but the Request.Form object doesnt work .how can i access the tekstfield and checkbox, if cant use the Request.Form object?The answer will be simple probably, but my searches on google didn't give me an answer.
I am writing a VBS File Which will Take Data from an SQL Database and put it into a text file. I am getting an error on: myFile.Write NewLine (myFile is set to FSO.CreateTextFile, and NewLine is the text I am trying to write)
I have found this error is being produced When I try to "write" this text from the database:
<p><b>Movin’ On Printed Throw Blanket</b></p><p>
The Problem is on this "Square" Charecter. I used the Asc() Function and got the Charecter value as 63, and Did a replace on it and it still does not work. I don't know how this charecter got in the database in the first place. I don't know if that charecter will show up correctly on this forum. But the character just looks like an empty box.
Is there a way to determin if the email message was sent? I have a numnber of applications that use CDONTS to send mail from both ASP and ASPX pages. If the server is down mail does not get sent. I do not see a way to determine this by code. Does anyone know of a way?

Can somebody explain me why I get this error

This is the piece of code it refferers to.....
Finally I resolved upload issue. Now I want to add the validation before the upload. So I can make sure it is a JPG file, not any malicious files such as asp. exe. bat, etc..
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
If Upload.File.ContentType="asp" Then
Response.write "Invalid file"
End if
Upload.Save "k:Inetpubwwwrootpic"
It's not working
Error:

I wanted to add this method to my .asp page in order to dynamically choose a
page based upon some selection criteria. It's in my .asp book and in the
online reference. Yet when I use this object, the following error returns
in the browser:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Response.Redirect'

What is missing from my IIS libraries in order to use have this method
supported?
Can't get this to work. I'm creating a workaround for the absence of aspJPEG on my server. I'm using aspUpload but my server only uses aspThumb. After aspThumb optimizes the original pic the file size changes and I need to reflect that change. When using aspUpload I can reference it's built in File object references but they only refer to the "original" file. There's an easy solution when using aspJPEG but not with aspThumb so I'm trying to get the "new" picture size using a scripting object with this script but I'm getting this error.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objPictureSize.Size'
/admin/media_upload_picture_process.asp, line 107 ....
The following code always displays 'false' in the browser window, which indicates that it's not finding the file.
<%
filename="C:INSTALL.LOG"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
response.write fso.fileExists(filename)
%>
The file definitely exists - why it doesn't work?
I simply want to verify the existance of a file on the server,
if the file Exists
do something on the client side
otherwise
Stop executing and reload the main page (login).
To get the response of the FileExists I use a ShowModalWindow from a VBS call. The value returned works fine but only the FIRST time that it is called. Only if I restart the IE I get the correct response from FileExists. It seems a session related problem, infact the modal window has always the same session ID (unless IE is restarted). "Session.abandon" in the modal window code didn'T help.
I have been messing with FSO.FileExists for a while and have been looking into its limitations. On our server, we operate our directory in:
d:inetpubwwwrootintranet
and inside that directory is a VIRTUAL DIRECTORY by the name of employeeImages which maps to
otherserverfolder
So saying
d:inetpubwwwrootintranetemployeeImagesfile.jpg
IS the same thing as saying
otherserverfolderfile.jpg
The problem is, that when I set that path to a variable, called strPath and perform the following:
blnExists = FSO.FileExists(strPath)
it KEEPS returning as FALSE. So I had it output strPath. Sure enough it was the URL shown above. I cut and paste that into a window's location bar and boom, I'm taken RIGHT to the image.
So I'm thinking "Ok, FSO is a FILE SYSTEM OBJECT. Maybe it's limitations mean that it can only look at the local filesystem? Maybe it cannot see across a networked device? Maybe it cannot work with virtual directories?" I've done some looking around and cannot find any pages on limitations of FSO.
Dim filesys, test
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
test = filesys.FileExists("probat08at08-dank60apzipap072905.002")
Response.Write(test)
The out put is the word 'False'. However, the file is in that path. This is my first time trying anything over a network, checking files and such.
how to use FileExists to check to see if a file exists on a local server BUT what if I want to check if a file exists on a remote server (webserver)? If I enter "http://domainname/folder/image.jpg" it always returns false.
View Replies View RelatedWhen a file is local to the ASP application, I can use the following code to
test if the file exists:
Dim strFileName, blnFileExists, objFSO
strFileName = Server.MapPath( "MyFiles est.doc" )
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
blnFileExists = objFSO.FileExists( strFileName )
Set objFSO = Nothing
But if "MyFiles" resides on another server and I set up a virtual directory
in my ASP app to reference to it (e.g. "MyFiles est.doc" resolves to
server2F$MyFilesest.doc), the code would return False even if the file
exists on the other server.
in my folder i have lots of pdfs stored in this format:
01_01_05.pdf means file is saved as mm_dd_yy format so if the file is uploaded on 23 march 2006 it will be 03_23_06.pdf
i'm using filesystemobject to check to see what file it the most recent uploaded Code:
The jist of what i want is the obj.FileExists (how it checks for a file on the server) for the client machine.
The client will be scanning something that will put a pdf file into a shared folder on their machine (it will be the same path for all clients). I need to get the code* to pull that file so that i can take the data on the pdf.
*Code doesn't have to be ASP. i'm up for ASP, VBScript, Javascript.
Is there anyway I can get the information about a file on the local machine of a user that is reading pages from my web site? Scripting.FileSystemObject does not have permission to do this, and I want to check the size of a file before I try to get it uploaded.

I'm currently using a dictionary object to store a multi-dimensional array.
I want to pass this dictionary object to an object, which holds an array of dictionary objects.
However I'm finding that the array is not getting set, thus I'm having great issue with dynamically resizing the object's property for every new dictionary object I'm adding.
I have a VC++ COM object which fires an event. I've written VB EXE apps against it and they receive the event notification.
I've now built a simple VB COM object which uses the VC++ COM object internally.
My question is, assuming the ASP page which loads the object does not immediately exit, will the VB COM object be able to receive the events from the internal object?

I want to open a recordset object on an .asp page. When I open the recordset I would like to use a stored procedure that expects a parameter to be passed for the stored procedure. I will then use the recordset to loop thru the recordset, update values from the recordset and then update the database by passing parmeters to another stored procedure.
I would like to use the recordset object but can it be used to pass a parameter to a stored procedure? Do I need to use a command object to open the records instead in
order to pass the parameter to a stored procedure?
