Writing File (Permission Denied Error) 1

[jaredn]

The code in question is:

function createFile(path,txt)
{
	var fso,fil,srm;
	
	fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
	fil = fso.CreateTextFile(path); //error here
	srm = fil.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting,TristateFalse);
	srm.Write(txt);
	srm.Close();
}

The error states that "Permission Denied". Any ideas on how to circumvent this? I'm using a Windows 2000 server.

ok i believe the problem stems actually from the folder permissions, to solve the problem, you will need to change the permissions on the folder that you are storing the file you need to change, to do this
locate the folder containing the file, and right click. choose properties, and then the security tab, in the list of users, their should be one labelled,
IUSER(blahblah) or something like that, if not add, it, you need to give this user write access to the folder, because when running scripts you are running as a normal internet user, so you need permissions with the iuser account.

hope that helps
