FileExists Method of File System Object from ASP

[Mierk]

Does anyone know why it wouldn't work if we tried to use the FileExists method of the filesystemobject from an asp page on our intranet that is trying to check the existence of a file on a different server. We've tried using the unc path including the administrative share, but we can't get it to work.

Thanks in advance,

It's typically a permissions issue. The security context the ASP page is being run under, doesnt have the necessary permission to access the other machine. Jon Hawkins
