I've compared the samples for both ASP and .Net and the ASP version appears to be lacking almost all the functionality required eg up a level, open a folder, upload etc. Is it possible to achieve the same level of functionality with the ASP version, that appears in the .Net sample?

Thanks

The ASP version of this sample is pretty "stripped down". It would not be too diffucult to convert the ASP.NET version to ASP. There would probably be two main trouble areas:
1) Converting the GUI elements. ASP.NET provides strong GUI support for things like listboxes & grids which automatically postback when an item is selected. You would have to write these yourself.
2) You would need to purchase (or write) a file upload component to replicate ASP.NET's built in support for this. I think there may even be some free components like this available.

Jeff,

Thank you for a speedy reply. Classic ASP is more appealing because that's what I'm familiar with, but it looks like I'll run with the ASP.net version for the ready-made additional functionality.

I would definately recommend the .NET version. Switching from ASP to ASP.NET, you really see a lot of benefits. For example, I wrote the ASP.NET FTP sample in a day or so. An ASP equivalent would probably have taken me at least a week.
