I want to use directoryinfo for a folder that's not within my website, it might be on the same server, but I'm not sure yet. How do I go about this?
let's say I have this
dim dirinfo as new directoryinfo(folderpath)
what would folderpath have to be? I tried giving the name of where the folder is, like for example "www.someplace.com/myfolder" but the directory doesn't exist
