Hei!

If you still are there, can you show the code (the ancor-tag) if you have tried, but failed?

Mvh

You need to use the FileSystemObject to access the file, the anchor tag is the easy part. Ask Google:

'asp file system object link to file'

hi hastikeyvan,
you can use map path for read files,
or if u are using local jost you give the local path like <a href="f:\filename.pdf"></a>

You cant just use sever.mappath you need to use the FSO, then the server.mappath syntax - did you ask google?

Anyhow here is a copy n paste piece of code that:

Drop this page into any directory within your asp application. It will list the contents and link to each file:

<% OPTION EXPLICIT %>
<%
  Dim strPathInfo, strPhysicalPath,objFSO, objFile, objFileItem, objFolder, objFolderContents
  strPathInfo = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
  strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(strPathInfo)
  Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(strPhysicalPath)
  Set objFolder = objFile.ParentFolder
  Set objFolderContents = objFolder.Files
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <TITLE>CDisplay Directory</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE cellpadding=5>
<TR align=center>
  <TD align=left><B>File Name</b></TD>
  <TD><B>File Size</B></TD>
  <TD><B>Last Modified</B></TD>
</TR>
<%
  For Each objFileItem In objFolderContents
     Response.Write "<TR><TD align=left>" %>
     <a href="<%= objFileItem.Name %>" target="_blank"><%= objFileItem.Name %></a>
<% Response.Write "</TD><TD align=right>"
     Response.Write objFileItem.Size
     Response.Write "</TD><TD align=right>"
     Response.Write objFileItem.DateLastModified
     Response.Write "</TD></TR>"
  Next
%>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
