System call in asp

[cloudthegreat]

How could I call an external process, such as an C or C++ program on the server machine using ASP? This is similar to the system call in CGI.

Thank you very much

Put the executable program into a directory. Enable execute permissions on the directory and then you can execute it directly. Be careful to NOT allow write access to this directory; otherwise, someone could write files here and execute them on your server. Bad. Monte Kalisch

Hi, Montek, thanks a lot for your reply. However, I am a bit new to asp, so how do I execute a program directly? What code is involved?

Btw, how could I vote for a reply?

Thank you very much
