[thelist] Can't Open UNC Paths from ASP or PHP

 I am using my schools webserver to access shares on other computers on
the network.  The webserver is on the school network.  I can't get
openDir in PHP or filesystemobject in ASP to access the shares.  It is a
Red Hat linux box.

Anybody know why?  Or better yet, how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Josh

Here is the code if interested:

In ASP

<%
set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

path = "\\Atticus\Games\"
set folder = fs.GetFolder(path)
response.write(path)
ListFolderContents(path)
sub ListFolderContents(path)
     dim fs, folder, file, item, url
     set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     set folder = fs.GetFolder(path)
    'Display the target folder and info.
	response.write(path)
	response.write("<BR>")

     for each item in folder.SubFolders
       ListFolderContents(item.Path)
     next
   end sub
%>

In PHP

$computer  = "//Atticus/Games/";

if ($dir = @opendir($computer)) {
  while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
    echo "$file\n";
  }
  closedir($dir);
}
echo "-".$dir."-";
