Using URL in OpenTextFile - 2/28/2006 6:45:56 AM

Hello everyone...

Here is my question:

I have an asp page in one server(server1), and a txt file in another server(sever2)...

I would like to open this txt file through the command OpenTextFile, using the following code:

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3, TristateFalse=0
'Dim FileName, f,fs,TextBody
'FileName = http://192.146.0.1/folder/text.txt
'Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(FileName,ForReading,TristateFalse)

However, the command OpenTextFile expects a physical path and not a URL...How can i solve that????

Since the page and the file are in different servers, the comand Server.MapPath can't be used...

Any help will be really, really apreciated!!!!!!

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Daniel

I have no reason to expect it to work and I can't test it right now, but have you tried:

FileName = File://192.146.0.1/folder/text.txt

Also, the name needs to be double quoted.
