FSO Not Working

Hi All,

In my serverside script I have gone down to the bare bones and the following doesn't seem to work:

dim fs
dim fst
dim LineOut
set fs = Server.CreateObject"Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fst = fs.CreateTextFile("C:\TEMP\home.tmp",True)

lineout = "MAFFIdentifier" & vbtab & "Title" & vbtab & "Initials"
fst.writeline(lineout)
lineout = " ==================================================
========"
fst.writeline(LineOut)

fst.close
set fs = nothing

The server gets to the end since I place a response.write in to test.

If I cut and past this into VB declare the variables as objects and lineout as string and remove the "Server." from the line when setting fs, then it works fine in VB.

Thanks
Bill

Hi

Do you have any on error resume next statements in your asp code

The one thing that I noticed was that you were missing a bracket from the server.createobject line of code, but I assume that this was a typo

The following code worked on mine

<%
dim fs
dim fst
dim LineOut
set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fst = fs.CreateTextFile("C:\TEMP\home.txt",True)
lineout = "MAFFIdentifier" & vbtab & "Title" & vbtab & "Initials"
fst.writeline(lineout)
lineout = "=========================================================="
fst.writeline(LineOut)
fst.close
set fs = nothing

%>

The only thing that I had a problem with initially was the permissions on the TEMP directory, so make sure that the IUSR account has the relevant permissions.

I hope this helps

Darrell

Hi Darrell,

Yes the Bracket was a typo, I have it in my code. I havn't tested the IUSR permissions, how do I do that?

Thanks
Bill

Basically right-click on the folder in windows explorer, and select properties. Then, click on the security tab. This will give you a box with a list of users that have access to the directory. I think that the c:\temp directory only has the administrators group as having full control, which means that the IUSR account will not have access. (however I could be wrong). If you only have the administrators in this box, then click on the add button, and you should be able to add the relevant users to the permissions

Let me know if you need any more help

Darrell
