Browse Server Directory for Download File

Hi Group
I'm working on file upload and download. Right now I'm using the file
system, next SQL Server. I have most everthing working except for providing
a way to allow users to browse for a server directory to select the needed
download document. Environment is C#/ASP.Net 2.0 and my files are in a
virtual directory (though I can hit the file system directly if needed).
Thanks.

RE: Browse Server Directory for Download File

Your app can use Directory.GetFiles to get a filelist of the contents of a
given folder, and you can display it in a databound control as hyperlinks.

Re: Browse Server Directory for Download File

Thanks Peter. I had looked at that but missed using Server.MapPath to get
me where I needed to go. While looking at Directory.GetFiles I found
DirectoryInfo.GetFiles which provides some additional info.
