Greetings,
I'm new to ASP and would like some advice. I'm trying to list the directory contents of a network directory on my website. Doing some research on the web, I found a tutorial here: http://www.asp101.com/samples/dir_list.asp

Unfortunately, this only works with listing contents for directories on the local machine. Then I found this page that tells me I need to make sure the anonymous account on the remote computer matches up with the account my webserver is using to access that remote directory: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtec...ect/faq6.shtml

I followed the link within that page to an MS support page (http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;197964) to find that this solution is for an NT4.0 network environment.

We're running Active Directory. Is it possible for me to access and display a remote directory listing within an Active Directory network?

Here's part of my code (basically taken from asp101.com's site):
<%
Dim strPath
Dim objFSO
Dim objFolder
Dim objItem

strPath = "\\hamster\Inetpub\wwwroot\Intranet\operations\ops _memo\"
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
%>

Many thanks,
-long

The same thing applies to other windows versions, not just NT4. Basically you need to make sure the user account under which your asp page is running has rights to the network files. So either
1. create a matching local user account (with a matching password) on the network machine and give it rights to the folder you want, or
2. change your site config so it uses an existing network account that already has access to the folder you want
