Using ASPExec to transfer to a mapped drive
Hey all
I am using ASPExec to copy files amoung my web servers drives.
However, I have a need to copy the files to a mapped drive location, but nothing seems to work.
H:\ in this example is a mapped drive.
<%
Set Executor = Server.CreateObject("ASPEx
Executor.Application = "cmd /c copy E:\temp\*.* H:\"
Executor.Parameters = ""
strResult = Executor.ExecuteDosApp
Response.Write "<pre>" & strResult & "</pre>"
%>
It works great with the local drives.. just doesn't work with any mapped drive.
How can I make it work with a mapped drive?

This isn't working for me..
I have no idea whats going on.
I created the users to match, I extracted the password from the local server, assigned the same thing to the new user on the other server and still nothing.
Doesn't work for me.
anything else I could try?

Nothing is working correctly.
I have triple checked, triple read... nothing.
This stinks!!!
Is there any other method besides FTP that I can use to fire a copy files event from one server to move files to another via an asp page?
I need to have users click a button to update the new website data from our "old" site (where the fresh data goes each morning.

Sorry.. Forgot about this one...
Map to say, "M:\"
dim filesys, demofile
set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObje
set demofile = filesys.CreateTextFile ("c:\somefile.txt", true)
set demofile = filesys.GetFile("c:\somefi
demofile.Copy("M:\someothe
' OR
'demofile.Copy("\\serverna
The above example uses FSO to do the copy the file to the shared drive. Again, you should give write permissions for the IUSR account as explained above.
You could try using the shell object as well...
Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscri
CMD = "%Comspec% /c c:\File1.txt m:\File2.txt"
oShell.Run CMD, 0, True

doesn't work for me...
Let me ask this.
I have a command line tool that works in a bat file (it calls another program to do the file compare/sync).
It works great.. problem is I need it done via a webpage, so executing that bat file would work perfectly.
But since nothing I do works correctly.....
Is there a way to give the webuser the credentials needed to run the bat file?
I currently login accross the network as Admin and I can run bat files with sucess.
If I try to run the bat file via web page.. it doesn't work.
(I know.. I know.. permisions)
Is there away to assign permissions to allow this?
How about a seperate website that gives access as the admin?
possible? If so.. how?
Maybe this is an alternative?
