This might solve your problem.

Edit the directory info for your web server. Ours was download2 so edit that part. You must save this file as an ASP page.


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="The Spider's Parlor">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<TITLE>Customer Support Download Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!--
This page created by Mark D. MacLachlan, The Spider's Parlor
-->

<table height=100%>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="84A5C6" width=17% height=100%></td>
<td valign=top>

<%


set directory=server.createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set allfiles=directory.getfolder(server.mappath("/download2/"))

' Lists all the files found in the directory
For each directoryfile in allFiles.files

%>
<a href=/download2/<%
' Write out the name of the document
response.write server.urlencode(directoryfile.name) %>><% response.write directoryfile.name %></a><br>
<%

' End for next loop to list documents
next

%>


</td>
<td bgcolor="84A5C6" width=17% height=100%></td>
</tr>
</table>


</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks for your help Mark


I tried this script on my local machine and it was great, but when i put it live on the server it displays the files okay but when you click on them it says the file cannot be found.

Do you think there is some setting on the server that I might need to add or change?

Thanks

Definately sounds that way.

When you look at your web site in IIS do you see the folders listed that hold your files?

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Maybe you should consider making a new web site and let it rebuild all the defaults.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.
