As far as I understood, you have an asp.net application using jquery. But what code do you want to access the folder properties? The c#/VB or jquery?
If you are looking for a javascript code, this should do the job:

JavaScript

var fso  = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var folderPath = "c:\\HERE_COMES_YOUR_FOLDER_PATH";
if (!fso.FolderExists(folderPath)) {
    alert('Folder does not exist');
    return false;
}
else {
    alert('Folder exists');
    return true;
}

This will only work in IE, that to not sure. :)

You can do some workarounds in order to do this code works in other browsers (like ietab for chrome). But since nobody specified a browser, this answer might be valid to him.

Not only will this only work in IE (or IE hosted in a frame, as with the ietab plugin), but it will only work on a Windows computer, and only if the user has changed their security settings to allow scripting of ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting.

Hi genius. I've never said it would work in Firefox. The user who is asking didn't said also that he needed a solution working in Firefox. Read the question bro.

Create a Jquery ajax function that calling one service method. That method will return bool value after checking the folder exist or not. Send the folder name as ajax data

C# code

C#

public bool CheckFolder(string folderName)
        {
            string path = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath  + folderName;
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
            {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }

After ajax success you can check the data..Using that you can know the folder exist or not.

Can you try this and let me know, if it works or not?

[no name] 24-Sep-14 8:23am

I guess this needs an ajax call to the server, but I think the question needs the checkto be done itself in the js file!!

Shemeemsha (ഷെമീംഷ) 24-Sep-14 8:27am

I think he needs to check a folder in server side.. Client side folder checking is not possible..

If you are meaning to say, whether you can check if the file exists in client's machine using JavaScript/jQuery, then the answer is NO !!!

You cannot do this, because browsers won't allow you to do so, due to security restrictions.
