Display Directory Listing


First off let me say that this code is a modified version of Kaustav Acharya’s post on Planet Source Code. I simplified the code to better suit my needs. You should just be able to copy the code posted below, and in order for this code to work you MUST update the SELECT CASE statement and configure it to work on your server’s structure. I think the other code is a bit harder (not user friendly) to use/fix for inexperienced programmers. Once configured properly, this code will display the contents of a directory wherever this file is placed. I named the file to be inserted into the directory to display index.asp, just because my default web site is set up to read an index.asp file as the default web page. You can also get cute with this script as well, write another select case statement checking for the file types, and display the pertinent icon according to the file name. Not what I need this code for, but just a suggestion.
Happy Coding!

Inputs

Edit the SELECT CASE Statement to fit YOUR needs. YOU MUST EDIT THIS!

Assumptions

Here's how I use this file. Create an ASP named, "index.asp", or "default.asp" whichever you use. Then place the newly created file in the location where you wish the contents to be displayed. Now, you might have to edit your NT permissions in order to have at least "READ" permissions.

Returns

Returns the contents of a directory.

Side Affects

None.
