File Permission On Windows

[cginewbie]

Hi,
my little code is working correctly on Unix but when it comes to Windows IIS, it does not work.

I can read from a file in IIS fine, but when I try to write the something back, it says Permission denied. I know it is not about permissions.

I tried both the \ and / and both gave the same error.

What do we do to write stuff in Windows IIS?

And what should be the correct path
E:\myhost\myfile.txt

or E:/myhost/myfile.txt?

thanks for the help

Firstly the correct path can be either:

E:\myhost\myfile.txt

or /myhost/myfile.txt (if the file is on the C: Drive)

Secondly, your problem could still be permissions. Check whether the file you are writing to has ReadOnly or Archive checked.

HTH,

Barbie.

thanks for the prompt reply.
However, the file i am trying to write to is not ReadOnly or Archived. I cannot even write new files.

Do you have any code that works on windows?

thanks

Hi,

Make sure IUSR_SERVERNAME, where SERVERNAME is the name of your windows box, has permission to use the directory. The IUSR_* user is internet guest account which corresponds to guest user or nobody user under unix, linux.
