When configuring ASP scripts or writing new ones, it's often necessary to find the physical path to some file or database on your server. This is especially true if you're ever using the FileSystemObject (FSO). Unfortunately, unlike friendly virtual paths (i.e. /database/users.mdb), physical paths are often hard to remember (i.e. C:\websites\12.34.567.890\domain.com\database\users.mdb). Luckily, there's a really simple way to find the physical path to a file, as long as you know the virtual path. To do this, we take advantage of the Server.MapPath() function.
