Create a textfile on my server ?

[\(\( Olivier \)\)]

Hello,

I would like to be able to create a textfile on a sub directory of my
website
But I've alwais hace "Acces forbitten"

I use: WinXP pro, VS.NET 2003, IIS 5

Here's what I do :

Dim fs As New
StreamWriter(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/MyWebSite/DirFiles/Test.tx
t"))
fs.WriteLine(Now)
fs.Close()

I've checked the "Read" and "Write" permision in IIS ?

But, it doesn't work, why ?

thanks
Olivier

Done !

Thank you

You need to make sure the ASPNET user account has full permissions for your
DirFiles folder.
Do this by right clicking on the folder in explorer.

Yes, you'd likely need to coordinate this somewhat complex security issue
with your web host. They often have custum security set ups.
