fso.CreateTextFile error 800a0046

[bjzielinski]

I know this is a file permission problem, but I cannot see the file permissions myself. I only have FrontPage access to the remote host. I can have the administrator look at it, but I'd like to tell him exactly what to do. Basically I have a script that creates a temp file for vcard downloading. When I run the script, I get

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/vcard.asp, line 44

vcard.asp contents:
42: whichFN=server.mappath("/vcards/test.vcf&quot
43: Set fstemp = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
44: Set filetemp = fstemp.CreateTextFile(whichFN, true)

The file does exist (same error even if it doesn't).
Is it possible for me to see the file permissions, and if not, what does the IUSR permission need? Thanks.

Start the Windows 2000 Help from the Start Menu. Select the Index tab in the navigation pane at the left. For "keyword to find" enter:

file permissions

Select the subtopic:

associated special permissions (list)

This should take you to a nice table showing the file permissions and what each gets you.

My guess is your IUSR... user only needs read and write permissions.
