I actually couldn't get it to work in CF either when I tried. That's why
I ended up doing it in ASP.NET. For some reason I couldn't give CF the
right permissions to talk to the other clients on the network.

Viewing directories across a network?

Yes but different domains.

You can just map a drive letter to
a folder on a system on the network then use cfdirectory.

Tried that. It won't work.

You need to
allow CF to have admin rights though I believe. I don't know if you
could read a users hard drive coming to your site though, unless you had
a com object written in ActiveX. I could be wrong on that, not sure.

I've tried to do this with CF but it won't work. How did you do it?

ActiveX should have done what you needed. I know that a lot of the
online virus scanners and tools are built with ActiveX. Try looking up
the System.Management namespace in asp.net. I can't remember off the top
of my head if you can view a clients hard drive with that or not. I know
I wrote some code to view directories and files on PC's over the network
with asp.net, which you can do with CF as well.

Hi,

I've tried everything from www.planet-source-code.com using ASP and
ActiveX. The code does browse the server contents but I require to view
the client hard drive.

I thought Active X would do the trick but...

Is there *anything* out there does does what I require?
