The virtual path, /jsmith/index.htm, stands in for the physical path,

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\accounts\users\jsmith\index.htm.

Find a file’s physical path with the virtual path

If you work with an ISP, you don’t always know the physical path to the files you upload. ISPs typically provide you

with an FTP host, possibly a host directory, and a login name and password. ISPs also specify a URL to view your

pages on the Internet, such as www.plutoserve.com/jsmith/.

If you know the URL, then you can get the file’s virtual path—it’s the path that follows the server or domain name in

a URL. Once you know the virtual path, you can get the file’s physical path on the server using the

MapPath method.

The

MapPath methodtakesthevirtualpathasanargumentandreturnsthefile’sphysicalpathandfilename.Here’s

the method’s syntax:

Server.MapPath("/virtualpath")

If a file’s virtual path is /jsmith/index.htm, then the following expression returns its physical path:

Server.MapPath("/jsmith/index.htm")

You can experiment with the MapPath method as follows.

1 Open an ASP page in Dreamweaver and switch to Code view (View > Code).

2 Enter the following expression in the page’s HTML code.

<%Response.Write(stringvariable)%>

3 Use the MapPath method to obtain a value for the stringvariable argument.

Here’s an example:

<% Response.Write(Server.MapPath("/jsmith/index.htm")) %>

4 Switch to Design view (View > Design) and enable Live Data (View > Live Data) to view the page.

The page displays the physical path of the file on the application server, for example:

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\accounts\users\jsmith\index.htm

For more information on the MapPath method, consult the online documentation that comes with Microsoft IIS.

Use a virtual path to connect to a database

to the file. The following example is a typical DSN-less connection string for a Microsoft Access database:

Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};

DBQ=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\accounts\users\jsmith\data\statistics.mdb

If you don’t know the physical path of your files on the remote server, you can get the path by using the MapPath

method in your connection string.

1 Upload the database file to the remote server and make a note of its virtual path—for example,

/jsmith/data/statistics.mdb.

2 Open an ASP page in Dreamweaver, then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases).

3 Click the Plus (+) button on the panel and select Custom Connection String from the menu.

4 Enter a name for the new connection, without spaces or special characters.

5 Enter the connection string and use the MapPath method to supply the DBQ parameter.
