Dear all,

How do I access folder+files is located outside webfolder ?
My Intranet application website address is http://160.115.30.20/BMI
and physical folder in server is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\BMI.
Folder I want to acess is located in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Documents.

Now, The folder is in webfolder. I want to move it to outside webfolder to make it simple when backup programs or documents.

Thanks,

Kusno.

Dear Serkan Şendur,

Thanks for you reply.
Sorry, I think I did not give clearly question to all members.

In my folder there are pdf file and images file.
Users upload files from their local drive to that folder and if users want to see those file
I can use Response.Redirect command.

Thanks,

Kusno

one user email me about further explanation to this problem. you can access any file or folder on the server as long as you have the appropriate ntfs and share permissions. these permissions must be granted to ASP.NET user.
