FileSystemObject

Hello,

i'm trying to open files in a loop and i get permission denied error!

On the server the IUSR account has (Read&Execute + List Folder + Read )permissions (NTFS). IIS is set to use anonymous authentication.

I've checked twice that the correct path is passed to function.
Here is the beginning of the function :

Code:

Function GetContent(dPath) 
    Dim Path, objFSO, objStream, strFile
    Path = Server.MapPath(dPath)

    Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(Path,ForReading,False,0)

The error comes at the last line here over.

Does I need write permission to open a file in ForReading mode?
Whats wrong?

Try changing
(Path,ForReading,False,0)
to
(Path,ForReading,False)
Let me know what happens.

Hello,

the problem here was that the administrator didn't set the right password for the IUSR...!
He droves me mad..!

Sorry for the delayed answer, but I was so stressed that I've forgot this post
Have Fun
