' Name: ASP File Finder
' Description:Did you ever want to search for files using your web browser instead of the MS Find Files program? This ASP file searches your hard drive (or web server) for files containing a given string. You can specify a string to search for and the directory to search in (or leave the default c:\ directory).
' By: Blowno
'
' Inputs:SearchText = The file containing the text you are searching for.
Directory = The Directory (and it's subdirectories) to search (default is c:\)
'
' Returns:A list of files on your hard drive (or web server) matching the string you searched for.
'
' Assumes:I realize this app is much slower than the MS Find Files program, but it is web enabled and will not return files that do not contain the search text like the MS program does.
'
' Side Effects:On slow machines - This script may time out if you search the full directory. Note: On my 1GHz machine it can take up to 2 minutes to search the entire 34GB hard drive (I set the script timeout to 5 minutes).

Please give your feedback regarding this code - I am still working on allowing the user to key in wildcard strings such as "string*.jpg" - The code currently searches for the exact string within the file name. I'm not sure how to accomplish the wildcard search - Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to create a page that will allow individuals within my company intranet to easily copy files from their hard drive to our document folder on our server. However, when I try to use this code to view my local drive I get a Permission Denied error. It works well as long as I stay in the InetPub folder. Is there anyway around the Permission problem to view a file outside of the InetPub folder?

Sam - If the asp page is running on a server that is not on your local machine (such as pws) then it will not be able to search your local drive as that would be a security breach. Also, you cannot search in a domain other than the domain the file is located in.

A file is missing. The missing file is: FindFiles.asp

Hey Test - When you copy the code above, and paste it into a document, you need to name the document FindFiles.asp - Otherwise you need to change the submit parameter in the tag to whatever you named your document. It's submitting the form back to itsself. Thanks - Hope it works for you.

It seems as if the last post got jammed, but what I wanted to know was: how can I use it for my website? What do I put for the Domain? server.mappath? And do I have to specify all my other directories?
thnx, Hasse

Hi,
Im trying to use your script (FindFiles), but it doesn't seem to work when I use it on my website... do I use

To use this script on a web site just change the line that reads as follows:
if directory = "" then directory = "c:\" TO: if directory = "" then directory = server.mappath("/"), and then place the FindFiles.asp document in your root directory and it should search all of the directories on your web site.

thnkz man, it works ok now! However, when I click the link to the document or picture, it doesn't go to the file, because the link is like this for example:
file:///C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/www.epartnersonline.com/images/phones/ericsso n_r310s.jpg
And the browser doesn't under stand that it's actually a server it's looking for... how can I change this and only use the link "/images/phones/ericsson_r310s.jpg"???

I am kind of new to this code, I am having some trouble with it. I want to try and use this code to allow someone to enter a filename and search a server for it. How do I implement this code, I tried naming it FindFiles.asp, but it doesn't load anything. What am I doing wrong?

How do I list directory on a network? It works great listing directories/files from local drives, but crashes when I try to list "mapped" (M:\) or network drives (ie \\mycomputer\myshare). Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thank you,
Xao

excellent utility, practical and handy. i have my own solution to turning the physical dir to a virtual dir so the search result links work on the server : string manipulation. also, i added a few dirs to exclude from a search, as well as exclude certain file extentions. for example, don't want people downloading your .js files or other files, unless you want them to. the code i added is nothing flash, but it works and is functional. so if you need to look at it, email me.

I have the asp page on my webserver. How do you get it to search for a file on the client's machine? My search results have come back with nothing so far and I am assuming that it is searching on the server's file system and not on the clients.

Hi BlowNo,
(1) My drop list contain 2 drives (C: & M:).
codings:
if Drive_option.selected = "C:" then directory = "C:\" else if Drive_option.selected = "M:" then directory = "M:\"
**Drive_option is the name of my drop list
Is the above coding right?

The Code is great.
But I have the same problem as Hasss
However,when I click the link to the document
or picture, it doesn't go to the file,
because the link is like this for
example:
file:///C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/w
ww.epartnersonline.com/images/phones /eri
csson_r310s.jpg
And the browser
doesn't under stand that it's actually
a server it's looking for... how can I
change this and only use the link
"/images/phones/ericsson_r310s.jpg"???
Can anyone help ??

For everybody with the path problem. Use an custom download script which can send the file to the client browser without it being in inetpub or even web shared. Create a file called download.asp and past the following code into it: (see next post)
