File System Object

Method: Get File

Set objFile = ObjFSO.GetFile(strPhysicalPath)

strPhysicalPath is the actual directory and file name on the server. For example "D:\WebSites\index.htm". It can be derived from Server.MapPath(strURLPath) where strURLPath might be "http://www.mipsdla.com/index.htm"

Properties:

objFile.Name 'and extension
objFile.Size 'in bytes
objFile.DateLastModified
objFile.DateCreated
objFile.DateLastAccessed
objFile.Drive
objFile.ParentFolder
objFile.Path 'This is the entire path and file name with extension
objFile.ShortName
objFile.ShortPath
objFile.Type 'A text description of the file type. Not the extension

Methods:

objFile.OpenAsTextStream([iomode, [format]])
where iomode is 1=read, 2=write, 8=append and format is -2=default, -1=unicode, 0=ASCII
objFile.Delete( force );
where force is an optional value which, if true, will remove files with the read-only attribute set.
objFile.Copy( destination[, overwrite] );
where destination is the fully qualified drive, path and (optionally?) file name to copy this file to. overwrite is optional and, if true, will cause any existing file to be overwritten.
objFile.Move( destination );
where destination is the fully qualified drive, path and (optionally?) file name to move this file to.
