ListFiles does not care about the virtual directories in IIS. It just looks at the PHYSICAL files and folders on the hard drives.On MacOs, aliases will be considered as the real folder by ListFiles. On Windows, all it sees is the .lnk file and it will not consider it as a folder. I do not know about Linux yet, because, as you know, you cannot install WebCatalog on RedHat 6.2. And I am still waiting for an answer from their tech support (I actually am not waiting any more). ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
