[Bill]

Using ASP in a VBScript environment, how can I check the protection on a directory, or a
particular file?

I suppose VBscript on an ASP platform?

<%
file = "myDir/theFile.txt"
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fso.fileExists(server.MapPath("/" & file)) then
response.write "exists."
else
response.write "does not exist."
end if
set fso = nothing
%>

Well, that tells me if it exists, but it doesn't return the directory/file protection,
does it?

I don't think you can get that, exept by trial and error.
