I am using the FileSystemObject to find out if a file exists.



On the server where IIS exists I have a d drive.



using Jscript:



var fso=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

Response.write (fso.FileExists("d:\\rtt\\tmp.mdb")



This returns true



On a different server there is a file called bc.cnt which I can access. I 

mapped the server to a drive and used



Response.write (fso.FileExists("g:\\help\\bc.cnt")



This time it returns false. If I use my text editor and in the file open 

entere 'g:\help\bc.cnt' it opens the file.



I have tried various things in putting in server names etc but I have 

failed to return true. 



Has anyone any ideas

Sounds like a permissions issue.



This script is running in asp page on the server?  You allow anonymous 

access?  If so, have you checked that the anonymous user IUSR_... has 

access to the directory g:\help?
