Using fso with http

[ktwclark]

I'm having a problem getting the filesystemobject to open a text file sitting in my web folder. Is this a limitation of the fso, it works when the drive letter is specified but not when the URL is used. Any ideas?

Here's the code:

<SCRIPT language=VBScript>
<!--
Sub ReadWriteText_OnClick()
Dim fso, f1, ts, s

'Open file and read contents
Set fso = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set ts = fspenTextFile(&quot;

http://www.mysite.com/testfile.txt&quot;,

1)
s = ts.ReadLine
msgbox &quot;File contents = '&quot; & s & &quot;'&quot;
ts.Close

'Open file for writing
Set f1 = fspenTextFile(&quot;

http://www.mysite.com/testfile.txt&quot;,

2, True)
s = s + 1
f1.WriteLine s
f1.WriteBlankLines(1)
f1.Close
msgbox &quot;File contents = '&quot; & s & &quot;'&quot;
End Sub
-->
</SCRIPT>

Use mapPath to get actual file path to write to.
