Folder object
The Folder object is used to return information about the specified folder.
To operate on the Folder object, we need to create an instance of the Folder object through the FileSystemObject object. First, create a FileSystemObject object, and then use the GetFolder method of the FileSystemObject object to instantiate the Folder object.
The following code demonstrates the Folder object by using the GetFolder method of the FileSystemObject object and returns the creation date of the specified file using the DateCreated property:
<%
Dim fs,fo
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fo=fs.GetFolder("c:\test")
Response.Write("Folder created: " & fo.DateCreated)
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
Output:
Folder created: 10/22/2001 10:01:19 AM
