    Problem using cmd.exe from asp

    Hi folks I have strange problem using cmd.exe from asp code

    I am trying to save the results of an FTP command into a text file. When I
    run this command from the command line of the web server it creates the text
    file OK and it contains the results of the FTP commands.

    ftp.exe -s:test.ftp > c:\tempfile.txt

    However when I run it from asp using cmd.exe, it creates the file
    c:\tempfile.txt but there is nothing in it.

    set oScript=Server. CreateObject("W SCRIPT.SHELL")
    oScript.run("cm d.exe /c ftp.exe -s:test.ftp > c:\tempfile.txt ")

    Any ideas why?

    Thanks a lot,

    Derek

          Curt,

          It was worth a try, but sadly I get the same problem

          Am I adding permission to the correct account IUSR_ANON?

          Best Regards,
          Derek

              as a test, try using an admin account as your IIS user...

                  Re: Problem using cmd.exe from asp

                  Curt,

                  I don't have the authority to change the admin account, but I think this
                  problem may because the script file and the file I want to ftp are not on
                  the web server itself but on a network share. I am pretty sure that the
                  ISR_ANON has the access rights to the network share but something about
                  permissions must be wrong.

                  If I copy the ftp script to the local server then the result file is now
                  created but it fails to change folder to \\server\share\ folder

                  Once again it runs OK from a command line prompt.

                  It must be something related to permissions but which ones?

                  Thanks again.

                  Best Regards,
                  Derek
