Deleting files from the Server

[msturges]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me on how I can create and run a process that would delete certain files from the server when triggered by a user.

Thanks
God Bless

the fileSystemObject is what you're looking for. You can write an ASP page that will delete files using this object. Here is the info w/examples for each method:

If you have specific issues or questions regarding its implementation, then post back.

Thanks Paul,

I have already tried using the FileSystemObject in numerous different ways, but to no prevail. I am now at my wits end, cos I have basically copied the code preciely from the msdn site and all I get is an error saying :

[red]"Server.CreateObject Failed"[/red]

I have tried the fileobject.delete method as well as the fso.deleteFile method, but, all I get, over and over and over and over and over and over and over (you get the point) again.

Any idea why? I really need to solve this before I go insane.

thanks again
Mike
