Determine Whether A Path Is A Directory Or A File
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:

Currently I am developping a internet "directory browser"
My page 'default.asp' has following entries:
CurrentPATH = Request("MyLink")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPATH)
Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files
this works fine with 'default.asp?MyPath', where "MyPath" stands for i.e.
c: emp
but NOT with 'default.asp?MyFile', where MyFile stands for i.e.
c: empfile.txt
Is there a way to determine if the link contains a file or a path? Of course
you can check for a dot (after dot, normaly it is an extension, thus a
file), but I want to have it possible also to have dots in my directories...
Anybody?

I'm trying to find out the entire path for the directory on the web server that I use for FTP'ing.
I had an ASP script which did it for me once before but I've lost it. Does anyone know how to retrieve the full path name?

I downloaded a component which will enable me to upload data to my server. Currently i am using my localhost to develop the files. The component is called Aspfree upload [from http://www.freeaspupload.net] and it has variable called uploadsDirVar which you specify the directory which you want to upload the files to.
However i dont know the real path in my clients isp, so for examle i cant use "c/inetpub/wwwroot/database".
My files are structured as bellow: alpha/admin/pages --this is where my scripts are located. The directory i wish to upload the files are at alpha/database. I've tried uploadsDirVar = "../../database" and it did not work.

I used to have an .asp script called whereami.asp that I could load into a directory on the web and then go to the URL and it would display the full path of that directory i.e D:Inetpubwwwrootmysitemydirectorywhereami.asp
But I've lost this script does anybody have the code that will do this. I seem to remember it was about 6 lines long - but as I am not that hot at asp I don't really know for sure.

I need to figure out if this file is over a day (or however many hours) and if it is, i need to delete it. If its not i redirect the user to it
Code:
If (fs.FileExists(workFile))=true Then

If (f.DateLastModified > Date-1)
Response.Redirect "/" & tFileName & "/" & reqString & ".html"
Else
f.Delete
End If

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.

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.

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 Physical path that I need to convert on the FLY I thought using Replace would be a good idea, and it almost works
function MapURL(path)
dim url2
'Convert a physical file path to a URL for hypertext links.
url2 = (path)
MapURL = Replace(url2, "", "/")
MapURL = Replace (url2,"E:","http://myscs/docLibraryDocs")
MapURL = Replace (url2, "IntranetLibrary", "")
end function %>
- Is it possible to have multiple replace on the same variable ?
- am I doing it the right way ? or is it possible to concatenate those replace in one go ?
Is there a limit on how many Replace one can use for one variable ?
The problem I have is that it takes the first two Replace in consideration but not the third one. If I remove or comment the second one then the First and the third one works fine. For some reason, it doesn't like to have the three in the same time.
by the way, the link I try to change is as follow: Code:

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 have a virtual path setup in order to give my web server access
to a file on my app server. I am using the file system object to check
for the existance of the file and if it exists, it has to validate the
file date.
The problem is I can't seem to find the file. I can successfully check
for the existance of a file on the web server, but once I enter the
virtual path it can't find anything. All three of these calls return
false...
fso.FileExists("http://server/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt")
fso.FileExists("/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt")
fso.FileExists(Server.MapPath("/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"))
However these two calls work, so I assume I am referencing the file
correctly...
Response.Redirect "http://server/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"
Response.Redirect "/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"
Am I doing something wrong here? The virtual path is setup with an id
that has full access to the folder.
