Connect to mapped drive

V

Vanessa

hi everyone,

I have mapped a drive in our IIS, but I don't know how to connect to it from
ASP.
I would like to place files (like images files) to the mapped drive
T:\XXX\YYY and display files from there.

I've tried using Server.MapPath, but when I put T:\XXX\YYY as parameter, it
will say it requires virtual path but not physical path.

Then I tried using:
Set MyFileObject=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFolder=MyFileObject.GetFolder("T:\XXX\YYY")
but it will say Path not found.

Please advise. Thanks!

Create a virtual folder in IIS pointing to the shared drive. Make
sure the correct accounts have access to the share. Remember that the
IUSR/IWAM accounts are local accounts, so unless you change them to
domain accounts you need to accomodate them in the shared drive as
local accounts.
