Posted March 14, 200619 yr A folder was set up for me on a server. The folder is added to my computer as a Network Place. The only way to access any of the files though, is by knowing and typing in the exact name (plus extension) for the URL. Is it possible to set up a directory to show all the files in that folder instead of giving me a no access page or whatever. Let's say the URL to the folder is: http://crazy.com/insane/ And if I type that in, it doesn't display anything. How can I get it to display my files? Thanks.

March 15, 200619 yr You can also use a server side script to make a nice directory listing if the host supports something like php or asp.

Does anybody have any tutorials to do this with ASP?
