create folder

kumarop · April 9th, 2005, 07:28 AM

Dear all,
Please find time to reply some of my doughts.

1) I want to create folder if it is not found. It seems it is not working. I am getting error

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'
Path not found

Cannot I make folder in any drive say c or d (both are present)? Do it involve some grsnt issue?

b) For putting file in folder write grant on folder must be given to internet user.can permission of write on this folder to Internet user be given by asp code(after varification)?

Code:

Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
                If fs.FolderExists("d:\temp\email") = true Then
                'Response.Write("Folder c:\temp exists.")
                Else
                set f=fs.CreateFolder("d:\temp\email")
                set f=nothing
                End If
                set fs=nothing

regards

I think the problem is probably caused by the fact that d:\Temp does also not exist. The CreateFolder of the FSO object only creates the latest folder in the path; all others must exist ir the method will fail.

You'll need to parse the folder name, and then check and create each of the parts.

E.g. break apart C:\temp\email into C:\temp and C:\temp\email, then first check if C:\temp exists, and if necessary create it.

Don't know about setting permissions. It will inherit settings of the base folder, so if that's enough for you, set the settings on the parent (e.g. on C:\temp; setting it on c:\ doesn't sound like a good idea to me).

There may be third party controls that allow you to set permissions though.....
