URL to a specific folder

Hi there. First, I want to congratulate you on a fine piece of work.  Now my problem:

I want to be able to send a link via email etc that will open up the webfile tool at a specific folder in my filesystem.  The object is to be able to avoid having to traverse the whole file structure to get to a particular spot etc.  I cannot figure out how or if it can be done.  Help please.

Thanks a lot

Sorry for the late response.
This was possible with the older versions but I removed that feature because of security reasons. You can implement it easily though, you just need to get the folder information via Request.QueryString("folder") instead of Request.Form("folder"). Then URLs such as "default.asp?folder=some_folder" would work.

Thanks for the reply.  Bear with me, I know little to nothing about asp...

Regarding the main asp page. Do I need to replace all the Request.Form("folder") strings with Request.QueryString("folder") or just some specific ones?

Hi Cem

I would LOVE to do this but i'm also a bit stuck. I tried default.asp?folder=foldername but it didn't work. i tried changing all the request.form to request.querystring and still no joy. I even tried changing the const wexroot to a variable and doing that way but that kills the file uploader!!!

Please help!!

Chris,
I have received too many requests about dynamic root folder issue so I am thinking on implementing this feature soon.
