How to Create a New Folder With Classic ASP

ASP Classic is the precursor to ASP.NET. It can still be used today to create many versatile web applications. In this article I will show you how to use ASP to create a new folder.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• ASP enabled web server
• Web page edit software

1. Open a blank ASP page in your web page editing software.

2. Enter the following code:
   
   <%
   'Create the myFSO variable
   Dim myFSO
   'Initialize myFSO as a file system object
   SET myFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
   'If the folder does not already exist then create the folder
   If NOT myFSO.FolderExists("FOLDERNAME") Then
   myFSO.CreateFolder("FOLDERNAME")
   
   'If the folder does exist, inform the user
   Else
   Response.Write "This folder already exists!"
   End If
   
   'deconstruct myFSO
   SET myFSO = NOTHING
   %>

3. Replace FOLDERNAME with the path and desired name of your new folder. Or use a variable to define the folder to be created.

4. Add any additional code as desired. Using only this code will create the folder but it will have limited uses.

5. Name and save file as .asp. Test in a web browser.
