Hi. I am Sean. I am working on a project at my company. Currently, we are implementing a new Windows 2000 Server. We would like to setup the server to allow client machines to view a list of files using their web browser(IE) or Netscape by typing a domain name...www.seanchoo.com. How and what are the server settings which I should have

I hope someone can assist me through this setup. I would appreciate very much if someone could provide me with a step by step guide to do this job

Thanks to Microsoft for having such a useful discussion room

Hi Sean,

Have a look at using ASP and the FileSystemObject on the MSDN section of
Microsoft's site.

The only reason I can think of for wanting to do this, is if you want
them to be able to view a file list they don't usually have access to.

Hi Gerry. Thanks for the reply. Well, the management wants me to do some settings to display the list of Word and Excel files from a server. I do intend to setup a DNS and IIS for clients to view the files, but I do not know how to do this.

Regards,
Sean

Give it a try with ASP and the FileSystemObject. I'd suggest you start
by creating an ASP page that just displays something in the browser,
then create a WSH script that displays a list of files (use the cscript
host, you don't need a UI for testing). Once both of these are working
perfectly, combine the two.
