open app / run bat file from asp
okay,
have searched a few thousand threads trying to figure out the permissions denied error I am getting. obviously I am doing something wrong here. Anyway, my pc is set up as a web server, and I am just trying to open a file from an asp page. I am using xp OS. My latest attempt has been:
Dim wshell, intReturn
set wshell = server.createobject("wscri
intReturn = wshell.run("%comspec% /c dir *.* > c:\test.txt", 0, True)
Response.Write( intReturn )
set wshell = nothing
C:\test has given the Internet Guest Account full permissions (well everything apart from the full control option, and when I check this off, it makes no difference)
Am I missing something else here.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Also, 3 out of 4 of your questions are still open...please close the old ones.
i've run into this issue as well. I ended up finding out that I had to give IUSR access to cmd, which of course is highly unadvisable
ASKER
my error messege:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied
/batTest2.asp, line 4
but I have given full permissions everywhere I can think of.
"I ended up finding out that I had to give IUSR access to cmd, which of course is highly unadvisable"
I don't even know what this means to be honest.
My ultimate goal is to run a batch file of a .exe file to restart services from a web page.
3 out of four of my questions are open because they were unanswered. how do I close them with out allocating the points?

cmd is the Command Prompt, if you go to start->run and type in cmd and hit enter, you'll see what I mean.
what services are you looking to restart? (there may be a better method than prompting out to shell)

i know what the cmd prompt is and how to get it going, I just don't understand how to give IUSR access to cmd.
The service I want to restart is calld "ZOOM Image Server" I am not sure exactly the best way about going about this, but my ultimite goal is to get this restarted from a web page so if I am out of office I can, in theory, hit the web page from my cell phone and restart the services. This is my ultimate goal, so maybe I should make that another post, in the mean time I just want to get over this first problem. I will uip the points if I get a resolution for this whole task however.
Thanks both for your assistance.

well...you'd have to give access to the /system32 folder on the page's server which I would highly recommed against.
q4u? do you have the latest version of wscript installed on the server?

i also wonder if you would have to change this line:
set wshell = server.createobject("wscri
to:
Set wshell = WScript.CreateObject("WScr

set wshell = server.createobject("wscri
Not on this line:
intReturn = wshell.run("%comspec% /c dir *.* > c:\test.txt", 0, True)
What does your error message line tell you?
