mapping network drives through asp

[Dhruv]

Hi,

I was wondering is there a way to map a network drive a on persons
machine with a online gui interface?

Is there a way user 1 can map drives on THEIR computer using an online
interface?

Thanks

not really... you could genereate the command and have then COPY-PASTE it
into the RUN or Dos window....

Not really. ASP runs on the server, not the client's computer.

You might be able to accomplish something like that using some sort of Java
Applet that runs on the client machine (I'm just guessing), but there's
definately no way you could do it with plain old HTML/ASP.

Sure.

Sure.

But the code for mapping is all client-side, so you'd need to use your
"online interface" to produce a client-side script that does this.
Which would make me question why you didn't use all client-side code
and forget the "online interface" of course. :)

And for reference, check some of these:

Follow up in a client-side scripting group.
