[msalvador]

<%@ LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot; %>
<%Dim fso, MyFile
Set fso = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile(&quot;\\gfavaro-nt\temp1\testfile.txt&quot;, True)
MyFile.WriteLine(&quot;This is a test.&quot
MyFile.Close
%>

running this script an error accured with the following message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied

/SelfScan/sswreport/a.asp, line 4


can I create a file using a relative path like \\gfavaro-nt???

You need to set the path to the actual directory on the server. It is after all created on the server:

Set MyFile = fso.CreateTextFile(&quot;d:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\.......

The permission denied part comes from the lack of security permissions to that folder. Give the everyone group, write access to that folder only. It's adviable to make it a new subfolder somewhere so you're not clogging up other 'legitimate' ones.

Hope this helps.
