Linking to a created file

[ytoledano@gmail.com]

Hi,
I'm using PerlScript in my ASP page and I have the following problem:
Each time the page is refreshed a CSV file is created. I want this file
to be available for download. The problem is I can't create the file in
the "wwwroot\si te" dir, so I can't link to it. I can however create
anywhere else on the server.

Thanks in advanced.

Give this a try;

<%
'// incFunctions.as p

'// Ensure used vars are declared
Option Explicit

'// Const for the FileSystemObjec t
Const c_Read = 1 '// Read a file

'// Function: ReadFile
'// Purpose: Read the content of a file
'//
'// Usage:
'//
'// Dim strData: strData = ReadFile("..\pr ivate\myfile.tx t")
Function ReadFile(sFile)
Dim objFSO, objFile '// Declare used vars
Set objFSO = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenText File(Server.Map Path(sFile), c_Read)
ReadFile = objFile.ReadAll ()
Set objFSO = Nothing '// ALWAYS cleanup
End Function
%>

Re: Linking to a created file

Well, I'm using PerlScript, and also I don't have access to the project
till Tuesday.
But I have 2 more questions:
Could it be because I don't have premssion to write to the wwwroot\site
folder?
What permssions does the user which compiles the page have?

Thanks

If you have tried writing to the wwwroot\site directory and received an
error message about permissions, then you need to ensure that the
IUSR_machinenam e account has write permissions for that folder.

I received no error, the file simply wasn't written there.

Re: Linking to a created file

The reason I can't link to the file I just created is that I can't
create it in the wwwroot\site directory. I open the file for writing,
and then write text into it. When I open the site it loads correctly
but the file isn't created. Therefore, I receive no error.
