@harumphSep 28.2007 — There are obvious security concerns regarding finding folders and then being able to open them. There are scripts that will work on your local machine thru a browser, but web servers have a problem with this.

Your best bet is to create a file that houses the folders you know exist and open it, parse it, then find the files within that directory. Now, that's do-able.

Success!
