I need to manipulate files (rtf and wav files) on the server side. Can you
show me how to do that?
Thank you,

You mean like creating, deleting, moving, copying?

see the faq:

"Scripting.FileSystemObject"

etc.

Thank you for your response. No, I don't mean to creating, deleting...I have
rtf and wav files on the server and the users will access these files. What
is the code for showing the map path for them to access these files? And how
these files are shown up on the web browser.
Thank you.

If they are in the scope of the www root you can just use them:

<img src='/mydir/mysubdir/mypic.jpg'>

if they are not, you can move them by hand.

If you do not want them in he scope, you can fetch them:

<img src='/mydir/fetchMe.asp'>

where /mydir/fetchMe.asp is:

<%
outputJPG("mypic.jpg")


function outputJPG(x)

strFileName="c:\noScopedir\" & x
strFilePath=server.mappath(strFilename)

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if objFSO.FileExists(strFilePath) then
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Open

objStream.Type = 1
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath

Response.Buffer = false
Response.ContentType = ""
Response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "image/Jpeg"

Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
else
response.write "None existing"
end if
Set objFSO = Nothing

Response.end
end function
%>

In your code, it deals with .jpg picture file. I assume it would work with
rtf and wav (sound file), too. I will check...
Again, thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
Tim.

With the right "Content-Type" it should.
