Johnny writes "Hi there,

Hope all is well with you all.

I was wondering if there is some sort of a Stored Procedure that could allow access to the File System, such as:

1. execute [sp][xp]_get_files_list @directory='C'

2. execute [sp][xp]_does_file_exist @directory='C', @filepath='C:\temp\text.txt'

Or is there any way to access the File System by any means and retreive such results?


Thanks in advance!

-Johnny"

have a look at "xp_cmdshell"...
with exec xp_chdshell 'Dir C: >a.txt' being an example

xp_cmdshell is however a extended SP, which has security implications....
