getFile() and getFolder() execution problem

I have a laptop (named LAPTOP) with Windows 2000 PRO running IIS. There are a few intranet sites loaded on this laptop.

I have a problem. If I execute either the getFolder() or getFile() methods from the file system object, they never return --- no error message, nothing.

I have verified that the security on all the folders within the environment have read & write permissions for LAPTOP\IUSR_LAPTOP.

Here's a snibblet of code that should work. As soon as the objFolder.getFolder() is executed, the app just runs indefinitely.

(BTW, this code works flawlessly on my desktop's version of this site.)

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject ( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Set objFOLDER = objFSO.getFolder ( "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxxx\Councils" )
Set objFILES = objFOLDER.Files

for each strFileName in objFILES
response.write strFileName.Name & "<BR>" & vbCrLf
next

response.end

 

Hi,
If you want I can give you the code I wrote for the FSO tool here: http://sdknuts.net/akgsrch.asp
(That's a site I donated to a College in Canada.)
All the best,
Mark

 

The purpose of the code snibbet is to show you which function call failed. The actual value of the path will be different on every website you run it on. it's the problem with executing the getFolder() and getFile() that needs to be addressed.

Thanks,
paul

 

Hi,
Look in your sites Control Panel and you can find the site path.
Then use it like this:
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("e:\web\yoursite\htdocs\Councils\")
