Is it possible for me to create an ASP or HTML/Java page that has a search box allowing me to search for a folder within a few file servers. i.e users drives at work to speed up the process of finding these.

For instance, can i create a search box coded to search \\server1 \\server2 and \\server3 for a folder in example firstname.surname which would be the name of the folder on these servers. The page would be hosted on a local server just the same and searched with relevant permissions to view these folders.

So after just typing the name of the folder it will look through these servers and find matches and allow them to be opened then gaining the path. Would need to search share directories and sub folders :doh:

Even a little visual basic application a could run trying to find some things but cant come across anything

Thanks

In ASP (VB) FileSystemObject or WMI can probably do what you want, but permissions will likely become a problem (as in the account running the web site won't have access to the folders you are looking for).
