Get the size of a directory 1

[iqof188]

In Allaire's custom tag gallery there's several tags that can read the total size of a given directory on your server. Problem is that all of those tags are SLOOOOOOW

http://WWW (they

all start looping and stuff, almost bringing down your server ). For all you IIS users, here's the quick solution:

<cfset MyFolder=&quot;c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot&quot;>

<cftry>
<cfobject type=&quot;COM&quot; name=&quot;FSO&quot; class=&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot; action=&quot;CONNECT&quot;>
<cfcatch>
<cfobject type=&quot;COM&quot; name=&quot;FSO&quot; class=&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot; action=&quot;CREATE&quot;>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

<cfscript>
objFolder=FSO.getFolder(MyFolder);
objFolderSize=objFolder.size;
</cfscript>

<cfoutput>#MyFolder# is #Evaluate(oFolderSize / 1000000)# Megabytes!</cfoutput>

Good luck with it!
