Access to another iis server
Hello,
I'm having a problem accessing another web server to hyperlink to a 'pdf'
file. The problem is that we have 'pdf' files to link to that are not on
the current web server. For anyone on this side of the firewall it is not
a problem to access these files and display them. However, if you are coming
from the outside the firewal (Internet) you cannot access them at all.
In order to limit viewing of these files for confidentiality reasons, I
want to use the FileSystemObject to check for existing files on the other
iis server, then copy them to a temporary location on the current iis server
for viewing, then delete the temporary files when the calling Active Server
Page is released.
Thanks in Advance,
Robin

Why don't you just map a network drive? Or create a virtual directory in IIS?
I'm assuming that both servers run variants of Windows NOS. If one runs UNIX
or Linux you'll want to use ssh or ftp.
