I want to iterate throught the files in my root directory/subdirectory and get the filenames of all files within it.

I know that I can use a filesystem object to reference drives/folders/files on my hard drive, but is it possible to use javascript to reference server filesystem?

I don't need to read/write anything there, just get filenames.

I don't realy want to have to use asp/vb as it would mean finding a new host !!

Any help would be appreciated !!!

I don't think you can do this with javascript. I believe it requires a server side language. Does your server support PHP?

Thanks for that, at least it'll dtop me spending days banging my head against the proverbial brick wall !!

Looks like I'll have to go to ASP for the solution!!
Anyone know a reliable but cheap asp/msAccess supporting Host then?
