Hi, Its me again with yet another problem....
I'm making a program that checks for file existence on a server, and then compares the text from two textboxes to lines in a file on the server.. thing is it shows the error even though I installed my custom file on my site...
heres what I have:
If Not site_address.Text = "" Then

End If
If FileIO.FileSystem.FileExists("http://" + site_address.Text + "/" + "technetconf.trx") = True Then
FileIO.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("http://" + site_address.Text + "/" + "logininfo.trx", System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)

End If

If FileIO.FileSystem.FileExists("http://" + site_address.Text + "/" + "technetconf.trx") = False Then
MsgBox("This site does not support TechNet web folder security." + (Chr(13)) + "Please make sure you have installed the config file on the target server.", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Not Supported!")
End If
-----------------------
thats after a button click, but if the file exists is a login process, which I have done already.. is it because it can't check for a file on a server ? I don't want to use FTP.. this is for any site admins.. it lists changeable folders and allows access to files not accessible by a browser..
Any help?
Curiousity only injured the cat.
I finished it off..
Muahahaha...

I don't think FileIO.FileSystem.FileExists() allows remote http addresses.
