Server.Transfer Vs. Response.Redirect... to... \\209.11.22.33\MyDir

Ok, I give up... why do 1-4 work fine... but 5-6 give "can't find" errors?

1. Client-side VBscript code: call navigate("\\209.11.22.33\MyDir")
2. Client-side VBscript code: location.href ="\\209.11.22.33\MyDir"
3. Typing "\\209.11.22.33\MyDir" into my ie6 browser.
4. Typing "\\209.11.22.33\MyDir" into my Windows Explorer.

5. Server-side ASP: server.transfer "\\209.11.22.33\MyDir"
6. Server-side ASP: response.redirect \\209.11.22.33\MyDir"

How do I make it redirect?

Thanks.

Really? This is the IP for Google: 64.233.167.99
When I type \\64.233.167.99 into the browser address bar, I get an error. I
have to type //64.233.167.99 to make it go to Google.

This results in "not found":
<%Response.Redirect "\\64.233.167.99"%>

This works fine:
<%Response.Redirect "//64.233.167.99"%>

I didn't bother trying Transfer.

If the target IP is on your LAN you can access that server's file-system
using that syntax. Server.Transfer and response.redirect expect a valid URL

Yup, that's what appears to be happening to me. It's a UNC path, which
IE and explorer deal with fine, will mean bolox all to the ASP engine
though.

That's probably what is happening.

What would a "valid" URL look like?

http://209.11.22.33/MyDir

I haven't tried that yet... but I will.

Should that work for server.transfer and response.redirect ?

Thanks

Yes. Forward-slashes instead of back-slashes
