Is it possible to use ASP to delete a file on the web server?
I have a form that allows users to submit files to my site, but I now want
them to be able to delete their files too if possible.
I know the location and filename of the files (this is taken from a
recordset).
I am not 100% adept in ASP (I am using Dreamweaver to make my site) so an
example would be good please.
I am using the File System Object to create server side cookies and part of
the Function that I am writing deletes a file but I am getting a permissions
denied error on that line of code.
I am using Integrated security only on this site but how do I get the
IUSER_Machinename account to work with Integrated Security?
On my webpage users can upload files and also delete those files. Everything seems to work, but when they upload a file that contains spaces, I am having problems getting the file deleted, for example: "This is my file.txt"
Is there a way I can delete this file. I have tried to take out the spaces, but the file still doesn't delete:
<%=Replace(Request("MyFile")," ","+")%>
I have a little app running in ASP which lists a bunch of files that are in a directory. This is attained using the following code:

View Replies View RelatedI can easily upload images, add to db etc etc... but is there a way of actually dynamically removing image files from the server? At the moment I have clients uploading banner adverts to the server, but if they decide to delete the image, it removes the record from the database.
I need to go one step further and remove these 'old files' from the server instead of simply taking up space etc. anyone have any great applications or scripts I can use with a delete statement?
I have a tbl.pictures on my website, several of the columns have refferal links to images. Having read through another link on this site, apparently it's the best way to do it. (Keeping the images in file rather than on/in the database)
My problem is that when a photographer deletes a photograph from my database the image files remain on my server. For the moment its ok but long term when they delete the record I would also like the images to removed from my server.
Any ideas where I could start to look to do this?

Ive run into a little trouble. I am sure all of you have used hotmail. Well you know when you select all items to delete, i would like to do something like that, however not delete, but update a field from no to yes.
I would like to add checkboxes to an asp table. So if the user selects say three items they then click on a button, say marked and for each item, it will go to the table and find each record in turn and update the corresponding field from a no to a yes.
Updating is no problem. The problem is, how do i add checkboxes to corresponding asp table. So that particular checkbox corresponds to that particular record. I don't know how to link them together.
Can someone help me out please?
I have a form that contains many pages. If someone clicks on delete, the application takes the user back to page 1 instead back on page in the breadcrumb trail. It is fine when the user is on page 2 but they could be on page 10 and click delete and then they are back to page one. I want to have the application go back on page at a time each time they click on delete. Here is what I have for code:
If LEN(page & " ")=0 Then
page = 1
End If
page = CInt(page)
If i = page Then
response.write "<font color=""#CC0000""><strong>[page " & cstr(i) & "]</strong></font> "
I have a script which allows a user to upload and delete files from the

I am using cookies to store the user name and login state on the site. I am having some problems logging people out.
Firstly wanted to make the cookie values null but having some trouble with that

I'm trying to delete 2 files using fso. The mail file name is stored in an
access db.
using the code below I can delete the main file but not the thumbnail.
The thumbnail has the same file name plus the suffix "_small" so if the main
file is called "mypicture.jpg" the thumbnail is called "mypicture_small.jpg"
The main file is being deleted but no matter how I try I cannot get the
thumbnail deleted. They are both in the same folder with the same permissions.

i would like to delete a specific line of a text file. for instance, if the line i'm looking for is "abc", then i'd like to delete that line only (all the lines are unique).
is it possible to do this? or would it be easier/better to read all the lines into an array, delete the file, recreate the file with the lines from the array, skipping over the line i don't want?
I have a problem of deleting old version of files. This is wat happens: Client side sends a few files to the server side via http and are saved into a folder. I need to delete these files when another batch of files are send next time. Any suggestions to solve this problem.
Timestamp is out of question because it is not reliable to use time to differentiate between files within the same batch and other batch. Sometimes the sending might be delay by server. Therefore i need to come up with some sort of detection for new batch.
i'm using the following code to delete a file but when i execute the script it just freezes until timeout. any idea of the problem?
