Following example displays all sub folders in current folder. We will use SubFolders property of FileSystem Object for this source code. First we will find our current path using System.MapPath.

ASP does not allow you to use IO system to modify on files and folders. But with the help of FileSystem object you can delete any file on your server. Do not forget to double check permissions for this operation.

If you want to check a file exists, you may use this code. First we are starting script creating a copy of File System Object. FSO has many useful methods. One of them is 'FileExists' that we will use it now.

The previous article was about uploading files using VBA and IE. But what to do if you have only VBS (in WSH, IE or ASP)? VBS does not have functions which can work with binary data so you cannot read contents of a file from disk.
But you can use several objects which lets you work with binary data (one of them is also on this site, ScriptUtilities). ADODB, which is included in a free microsoft data access sofware (MDAC), enables the work with binary data also.
You can use ScriptUtils.ASPForm to accept uploaded files in ASP. ScriptUtils.ASPForm contains hi-performance, low resources consumption algorithm which can accept up to 2GB of data.
