asp_databases thread: how to get file from another-server by ASP


Message #1 by "miaoju luo" <luomiaoj@h...> on Mon, 23 Oct 2000 20:14:49 GMT

I created a dll to convert .tif file to .jpg file. This dll works when I

tested in VB environment(The dll is at my local machine and the .tif file is 

at the romote server). However, it doesn't work when I tested it via ASP(my 

machine as web-server, the .tif file is at the remote server). If it is true 

that Asp will look at the local web-server's file system only, then, I have 

to put the all .tif files that I need into my local machine??? In the 

reality, the web-server and the data-server are not necessary locate at the 

same place. Are there any ways to get around with this.  Thans for any 

suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you write a VB-FTP component that will ftp the .tif from

the remote machine and then convert it to .jpg on the webserver.

Map a drive letter on the WWW server to a network share located on the data

server.

(eg net use m: \\dataserver\tifFileShare\



Make sure that the IUSR_<www> account has sufficient permissions to read the

files on the data server.



Cheers

Ken
