ASP GetFile

The ASP GetFile method is used to find out information about a given file. The most common uses are to find the DateLastModified, the DateLastAccessed, the DateCreated and the Size in bytes of the file.

The full list however, is:

DateLastModified, DateLastAccessed, DateCreated, Drive, Name, ParentFolder,Path, ShortName, ShortPath, Size, Type, Attributes

Here's some code that will display the full list of a given file in the browser (obviously you need to change the filename to one that exists on your server):

Select All Code

<% dim fso,fname
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")  
Set fname = fso.GetFile(Server.MapPath("\") & "/myfile.htm")  
Response.Write "DateLastModified: "  & fname.DateLastModified & "<BR>"
Response.Write "DateLastAccessed: "  & fname.DateLastAccessed & "<BR>"
Response.Write "DateCreated: "  & fname.DateCreated & "<BR>"
Response.Write "Drive: "  & fname.Drive & "<BR>"
Response.Write "Name: "  & fname.Name & "<BR>"
Response.Write "ParentFolder: "  & fname.ParentFolder & "<BR>" 
Response.Write "Path: "  & fname.Path & "<BR>" 
Response.Write "ShortName: "  & fname.ShortName & "<BR>"
Response.Write "ShortPath: "  & fname.ShortPath & "<BR>" 
Response.Write "Size: "  & fname.Size & "<BR>" 
Response.Write "Type: "  & fname.Type & "<BR>" 
Response.Write "Attributes: "  & fname.Attributes & "<BR>"

Set fname = Nothing  
Set fso = Nothing  
%>
