Directory via URL

[neodammer]

' Create a reference to the current directory.

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo("http://mywebsite/")

' Create an array representing the files in the current directory.

Dim fi As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()

Label1.Text = "The following files exist in the current directory:"

' Print out the names of the files in the current directory.

Dim fiTemp As FileInfo

For Each fiTemp In fi

Label1.Text = Label1.Text & "" & fiTemp.Name

Next fiTemp

 

I get this error message "does not support URL" anybody know a method thats similar to this that would?

Are you doing this within an ASP.Net application and require the path to the web application's folder? If so then Server.MapPath is probably what you are after.

Not asp just a simple application for me on the roads to check up on things via internet. All I need to do now is see my directory. I set permissions on it so that im able to.

What im trying to do via application even possible without asp? I thought it was because all im doing is the exact same thing as the code above except via internet. I understand that most servers have settings preventing the viewing but the site im trying to view "my own" from out of town has permissions that allow for directory viewing.

Im not sure if Im understanding you correctly but you cannot simply access a directory on another computer, even if it would allow for that. You need some kind of a software server running. And no, that class does not support URLs.
