I am a web developer who is running IIS 4.0 and ASP and wants to create directories on my server "on the fly." (to store an uploaded file into a directory that relates to the LoginID.
Supposedly, there is a way to do it but I can not find it!
Has anyone done this...or know of a script that does?
Thanks in advance Todd A. Groskreutz www.iwebs.net

Todd, Use the CreateFolder method of the FileSystemObject.
The following code creates a directory called APSCreatedServer off the route of the C Drive.
<%Set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fs.CreateFolder("C:\ASPCreatedFolder")%>

Steve,
I use same method, a little differently to avoid any run-time errors.
<% Set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") sFolder = "C:\MyFolder" If fs.FolderExists(sFolder) Then Response.Write "Folder Exists" Else fs.CreateFolder(sFolder) End If %>
The extra line fs.FolderExists checks to see if the folder already exists. If you don't use the line, you might get an error like "Folder already exists" -- Manohar Kamath http://www.kamath.com/books Visit us !
