How can I get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32?

[Christian Blackburn]

Hi Gang,
I have so far been unable to get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32.
I'm using Windows 2000 Pro Sp4. Scripts have write access and I even tried
giving IUSR user level writes and still when I tried loading the ASP page it
just hangs trying to create the file :(.

<%
Function WriteText(sPath , sText)
Dim fso, TextFile

Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")

Set TextFile = fso.CreateTextF ile(sPath, True)

TextFile.Write sText

TextFile.Close

End Function


WriteText "Test.htm", "Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3"
%>


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This must be a security issue, but
how and where?
Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

Make sure it's not your AV software.

Hi Ray,
When I first saw your answer I laughed to myself and thought this guy is
nuts, surely Norton AV wouldn't do that. My AV doesn't interfere with that
and then I remembered all those Windows Installer installations that were
temporarily blocked :). Thank you ever so much for your help. That wasted
more time than I care to tell :).
Cheers,
Christian Blackburn

Re: How can I get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32?

Hi Ray,
You know the weird part about the error is that with the installers I would
visibly be presented with the approve or disapprove scripting activity
dialog. However, with an ASP page I got nothing, but an hour glass in my
web browser. I think that's a serious problem with NAV 2003.

Well, if you think about it, the ASP page is running on the server under the
IUSR's context, so if IUSR were a physical being logged on, perhaps there
would be a dialog you'd see.

Re: How can I get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32?

Hi Ray,
Yes I understand why NAV is confused, but it should be able to detect via
the already running tray icon what user account is really running and
display the dialog to that user.

Re: How can I get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32?

Not really. Think about it like a terminal services server or something.
If you're logged on to a Terminal Services session and so is someone else,
and you run into something that should display a NAV dialog, should all
users see that? No, only the user to whom it applies. In this case, that
user is IUSR.
