I've been perusing several solutions using the FileSystemObject to
browse physical directories on a web server. That's not a problem...it
seems pretty straightforward.

What I'd LIKE to do is create an ASP page that allows users to browse a
virtual directory within a web site. For example:

http://server1/browse.asp would point to http://server1/virtual/ - but
/virtual is actually a virtual directory on server1 in the wwwroot
directory pointing to //server2/physical. Server 2 is a file server
without IIS running on it, and contains files in source format (i.e.,
word, excel, etc.) that users would like to *read* remotely - not update
(they do that via the normal shared folder interface).

If I create the virtual directory on server1 and set it to "browse," I
can just type http://server1/virtual/ into my browser and see the file
listing, etc., which is "good"...but I'd like to be able to read the
information into an ASP so it could be sorted, chopped, channeled,
etc...or at least I'd like to be able to improve on the presentation a
little.

Has anyone done anything like this and might have some insight to offer?
