include a file in a web application which is outside the web path...

Hi,

Is it possible to include a file in a web application which is outside the
web path (without virtual directory).
Language is ASP with IIS6.

for example :

physical web path application:
e:\myapplication.
= http:\\www.myweb.net


other directory, outside
d:\securitypath

how to include a file locate in d:\securitypath by using INCLUDE or for
example

Can i use serverpath ?

thanks a lot

have a nice day.

Re: include a file in a web application which is outside the web path...

You will need to add the directory as a "virtual directory" underneath an
existing directory in the webroot. Then you can use Server.Mappath()

Otherwise, you will need to use an ASP/ASP.NET page, and use some kind of
binary reader (eg ADO Stream object) to read in the data from this other
folder and stream it to the user (e.g. using Response.BinaryWrite())

Cheers
Ken
