Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has ever made this happen?

I'm trying to generate a list of links based on the contents of a folder, so when you add files to the folder, they will appear as links.

The problem is that the files are on a different server than that of the web server. The remote drive is mapped to w:\. The code I have so far is:

Code:

dim fs,d
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set d=fs.GetDrive("w:")
Response.Write("The drive letter is: " & d.driveletter)
Response.Write("<HR>")
if d.isReady then
	Response.Write("The drive is ready")
else
	Response.Write("The drive is not ready")
end if
set d=nothing
set fs=nothing

The output I get is "W", which would tell me that it can see the drive.
The next line I get "The drive is not ready" from the isReady call. The drive can be accessed so it is up and running, the only other thing I can think of would be that accessing it from the server is not allowed.

Would anyone have any idea of what my problem might be, or if this is not even allowed due to a security problem. If it can't be done with asp, what other language could I use.

Noticed this thread while looking for an answer to another question.

Update:
Turns out that it was not possible due to security reasons. You cannot access a network drive with asp.
