I am using the ASPExec component to copy a text file from  any location in 
the IIS Server to another NT machine having IP 10.0.1.118 using the 
following code:



  Set Executor = Server.CreateObject("ASPExec.Execute")
  Executor.Application = "cmd /c copy c:\xyz\abcd.txt \\10.0.1.118\d\abc"
  strResult = Executor.ExecuteDosApp

I get an error saying file access denied.
If I run the same command (cmd /c copy c:\xyz\abcd.txt \\10.0.1.118\d\abc) 
from the command prompt of the IIS Server machine it copies successfully.

Also, if I change the destination to a Windows 98 machine and execute the 
ASP page it also works.

It only seems not to work when attempting to copy the file to a NT machine 
from the ASP page.

PS: I have also given full control to Everyone rights on the destination 
folder.

Please suggest a solution urgently. 

Is your IIS set to anon access?  If so it uses the IUSR_ account to run your
scripts and that account is local to the machine and has no access to other
machines on the domain.  When you run the command from the server itself you
are using the interactive user (the one logged on).

Either change the authentication so you are not using anon, or change the
anon user account to an account that has access to the server you are
copying to.

Well, more than likely it is because your code is running as the user
IUSR_MACHINENAME which is a local user on your IIS box. This user does not
have rights outside of itself. Try setting the application to not run as
anonymous and see if it works.
