FileSystemObject - Server or Client

[MartinDurant]

This may seem like a daft question, but I am new to ASP. I am learning about the FileSystemObject and I originally assumed that this is used to manipulate files on the client side (on the customer's computer), but now I think I am wrong. This is not clear from the book I am learning from.

Thanks.

Server side only I'm afraid!

Think of the viruses if you could manipulate files on a client machine at will.

If you need to do that though, you should be able to do this with an activex control the user chooses to download and run.
