i'm having problems trying to find information on how to write an asp
script that lists the files in a directoy
what i am looking to do is just list the 5 most recent files and list
them in descending order (newest) first
can anyone help me out here with a link, or some basic instructions,
i've found plenty of scripts that list files, but they don't explain
how its accomplished, and to me that's more important than simply
dumping a script on the server and using it
I know how i can list and manage files (with the file object) on a normal directory with ASP. But i couldn't find any information on how do i list/work with files which are locaed on a password protected directory (with basick auth). how to make such a task ?
At work I was asked to add a link to a directory listing page. This page is with the link is located behind a secure page requiring a username and password. When I added the link I also went to iis and checked to make this directory have directory browsing listing checked.
Everything is fine however now this directory is open if you just post the complete link to it in the URL bypassing the login page. Is this a nornal behavoir and is their anything that can be done to make it prevent it to be opened?
I remember some code in VBScript that would list the contents of a directory.The difference was that it was nicely set out,each filetype ahd their associated document and if the folder contained another folder,cliking on the folder icon would take you to that page fodler where it would list the contents of that folder.can someone please point me to a nice pre-written script.
display just a listing of files in this manner.For example.If i select D: drive it should give me all files in root directory and sub folders and sub sub folders.
The operation is like a dos command dir /s/o/b
I am using this for sitmap for one of my client, who has more than 100 folders and 50 sub folder and 10 sub sub folders that he has more than 7000 html pages
I would like to list all files and folders on a password protected directory (basick auth). I know how to list all files and folders in a normal directory but i don't know how to do so for a password protected one, due to the fact that i couldn't find any article/book that explains how to do so and also the fact that to the best of my knowledge there is no way to pass a username and a password to the File object in order to authenticate to the webserver as an other user, all i could think of was to pass the user/pass to this directory in the header (with response.AddHeader ) but that doesn't seem to work (even though i am not sure i used the correct syntax for the header).
I did not write this page but I would like to do something similar but have 2 coloumns on the same page where one column would list the files in one sub folder (e.g. articles) and the other column would list the files from another sub folder 9e.g. Newsletters)
I have a directory called 'imagefiles' that contains upto 50 images - the images are named 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg etc, etc. What I want is a single ASP page (displayimages.asp) that will display each image with a Next and Previous button to move back and forth between each image. I know how to list the contents of a directory using the FSO object and I know the URL behind the Next/Previous button could be something like displayimages.asp?image=01.jpg to determine what image needs to be displayed. What I'm getting hung up on is how to construct the URL i.e. when the displayimages.asp file is first displayed there simply needs to be a Next button and the URL will need to be something like displayimages.asp?image=02.jpg. Then when the visitor clicks the Next button the next page will need both a Next & Previous button - the URL behind the Previous button will need to be displayimages.asp?image=01.jpg and the URL behind the NExt button will need to be displayimages.asp?image=03.jpg...but how do I get the 02.jpg, 01.jpg, 03.jpg values to form part of the URL for the image variable?? Hope you see what I mean.....oh and I don't want to use a database to hold the image file names.
How would I list all the files in a directory and hyperlink to relevant document. For eg.
If user has a webpage with two folders displayed on the screen i.e. webpage or threads. User should be able to chose one of the folder in this case the user clicks on the webpage folder and list of different files in that folder appears on a separate window.
The list of files should contain different file attributes such as CREATED ON ,DATE .Once the user clicks on the file the hyperlink should take the user to the relevant document.
I attached two sample image files that user must be able to view it on their screen . When the user clicks on the first image the second screen should pop up on the screen..
is there an easy way of viewing the files in a directory without using "server.MapPath"!!! i need to view Doc files in a folder and then open them in IExplorer to print the matter in them...
I wanted to loop through a directory and get the names of all the files in the directory and put it in a table using the file system object and VB scrip in a DTS package.
I understand how to delete files within a directory using the Scripting.FileSystemObject. However, how can I delete a directory using ASP 2.0 on an older IIS 4.0 server? Do I need to:
1. Delete all the files within the directory. 2. Change the directory's permissions. 3. Delete the directory.
Am I able to delete a directory without changing the permissions? Can I delete a directory with files inside the directory or does the directory need to be empty?
Is it possible to develop an ASP page to search within an intranet environment. The file properties searched out and then post the properties info to an access dataset ?
I had searched for commercial shareware and other searched out items only to find applications where I can get file name, created dates file sizes. Nothing more nor expandable for additional information. And then put into a spread sheet. One did work but only on minimal property info. I need to expand to more information from the properties of specific files.
Example I used was morespace, Located all files in a specific drive, folder or etc then listed a few items into a table. I need the same ability but the capability to add and change how much information I can record from the file properties.
IIS cannot read files in a directory reporting that :
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6) Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Fso.GetFolder'
This has to do with Scripting.FileSystemObject. I make sure the scrrun.dll is properly registered with regsvr32. Still the problem persists.
Previously I do not know what I did right once in permission setting and managed to display the said files but it went away after tweaking the permission for make other functions available.
I scoured the web and this problem is a perrenial one. Many many suggestions have been made even in expertsexchange site but no real solution. I don't understand why it is so difficult to have this file system service up and running.
I'm trying to include and calling some ASP files from different directory. It doesn't work.
I need to use <A HREF>tag to link the ASP file and image file using <img src>tag. I entered the whole http://mydomain.com/....... path inside of tag. It doesn't work.
For example.
The original web page is reside in c:webrootwebpageestpagehomepage.asp
All the image files and other ASP files are reside in:
point me to some example code of searching for a file, like *.*, or *.pdf, much like the Windows search function. I am at a smaller location, away from the main office, and although I can map a drive or just use to go to the desired location, the connection is too slow to search.
I'd like to implement a search function on the intranet web (at the main office), where it will search a certain directory and its subdirectories and return the results as network links (using the convention); actually it doesn't matter how it displays the links, as long as it shows me where stuff is. That way the search is run on the computer where the originating directories are.
I'm looking for a free ftp component so that I can list files from an ftp directory. I have found majodio.ftp ,but it costs and I was wondering if there was a free version anyone knew about.
I have a client who has a password protected page (via session) that lists a bunch of pdf's. They are a little worried that you are able to browse and see the pdf's via the url without being logged in.
I'm not sure if it's possible or not but is there a way after their username and passord is verified to automatically grant them permisson to view the contents of the pdf directory?
I have files in a folder that I am using the FileSystemObject to read. I can read the files and display links to them no problem, what I want to do is to sort them by date created.What is the best way to go about this?
I have several (three) CSV files each with different columns and dissimilar data. The only common column is transaction date. What I'd like to do is combine the data chronologically. I can't do a join query because the transaction dates do not line up from file to file and no other columns will match either.
I just want all the rows from the three different files put in chronological order in one place understanding that my columns wont line up since the source columns are different. I've exhausted every effort on the SQL side to combine these, but I'm thinking maybe there's a way to do it with FSO or something else.
I'm using server.mappath to list a directory's contents. The code works fine, but the owner wants to know if there's a way to display the list by the date the file was posted, instead of the alpha order that it is presented by? I haven't been able to find an answer.
I have virtual directory where I run test.asp page with only this code inside:
<%Response.Write now()%>
As a result, if I go into the IE and browse for the test.asp page, I get : 1/22/2004 14:18:04
If I copy this page on some other(existing) virtual directory, I get as a result 22.1.2004 14:19:06
If I create a new virtual directory and I copy the page there, I get : 1/22/2004 14:18:04
Seems like that IIS takes english date format even if my regional setting is : d.M.yyyy and I would like that date on the page is always like this: 22.1.2004 14:19:06
I have written a script to update user information in the Active Directory using ADSI. Here is part of it:
Set User = GetObject("LDAP://<GUID=" & GUID & ">")
User.Department = DepartmentName
User.SetInfo
Set User = Nothing
This works fine unless DepartmentName is an empty string ("").
Then I get error 0x8007200B: "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid." This happens with all the attributes I have tried, including TelephoneNumber . Do I need to delete the value of the attribute instead of setting it to an empty string? If so, how do I do it?
I am displaying a list of data from a sql database. I have hyperlinked each field as i want the user to be able to click on this link, the page refreshes and all entries that are the same as the user clicked on are at the top of the list. I am using a query string as the link.
