Thanks.
Is the FileSystem object of classic ASP only able to work to local file
system?
Is there any built-in .NET class for ASP.NET to access remote file system
directly?
or I need to code a customized class and use it via ASP.NET?

Btw, even we have a separate centralized file server for file storage only,
when
the number of directories and files grow up very large, the disk I/O is a
issue, how
to solve this problem? add new file server and distribute all files to all
file servers
equally?

If store images in file system, is there any limitation of total file
number
in a single folder?

You've got to be kidding. While the answer is, of course, yes, the number
is astronomical. Take a look at your own current file system under
Windows, for example.

Btw, if the web site is a web farm, how to store image to a centralized
file system and retrieve them later?

In a Web Farm, all the servers are part of the same domain. Therefore, you
can use UNC paths to the files, as long as each machine has permission to
access those folders.

File System. Database is definitely a *lot* harder, not easier, and has
a performance hit.

Generally, if the images need to be catalogued, you can use a database
to store meta-data about the images. Sometimes, however, you can use a
folder and/or naming scheme to store the necessary meta-data.

Hi all,

Just wondering whats everyones prefered method of storing images ?

1) File System
2) Database (SqlServer) (Seems to be easier, but has a performance hit)

Appreciate some insight!!!

Cheers,
