    Posted: 07 March 2005 at 7:16pm

Is there any way to include a file from a different folder on your web server?

I have files from my other domains in a different directory then my site i want to include them all and instead of having them twice i would prefer to be able to include the file using the exact path or something like that if possible.
 
If there is a way of doing this or an alternative that will work like this can someone please tell me ASAP.
 
Thanks in advance,
VTech

If you want to include a file from a different folder on your server simply do an include virtual. This maps from the root directory of your server so if you wanted to include default.asp from a folder called test simply do the following:

<!--include virtual="test/default.asp" -->
 
Is this what your looking for or did I miss the point ??

The problem i am having with that is its 2 different root folders. I am trying to keep it like this so my client cannot see/mess up the asp coding for their sites.    
 
 
If that does not work, is there an asp function that you can include pages from different sites?
 
Like say one page is on http://mysite.com/page.htm and my site is http://othersite.com/ is there a way to make the page.htm show? Both sites are hosted on the same server just different root directories.

If you have something like
webfolder/site1.com/page.asp
and
webfolder/site2.com/otherpage.asp
where a domain maps to each .com folder... say you want to include otherpage.asp in page.asp you could do 2 things:
<!--#include virtual="../site2.com/otherpage.asp"-->
or use File pretty much the same way, though it is relative to the calling file not the root.

Dude, theres not too different root folders the root folder is the webfolder. If you map the virtual as:
 
<!--#include virtual="site2.com/otherpage.asp"-->
 
You should be fine.
