I'm using Windows Scripting Host (WSH), called from an ASP file, to create new directories on the server when a visitor signs up for a service:
CODE: <% Dim objShell Set objShell = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ) objShell.CreateFolder "F:\Webfolder\" & username objShell.CreateFolder "F:\Webfolder\" & username & "\images" Set objShell = Nothing %> This creates a new folder with the user's name (alpha numeric only permitted) and an "images" subdirectory. However, these are created as read-only, by default; I want to make the folders writeable as well. I can't find a WSH method to alter these permissions that I can get to work. Any suggestions? Thanks  ------------- http://www.pedalcars.info/ - www.pedalcars.info The most fun on four wheels

You'll need to create a subdirectory for your user folders that has r/w permissions. Folders created by the FSO inherit the permissions of their parent folders, and you probably don't want your web root folder to be r/w. Check out the forum/functions/functions_upload.asp file used by wwf. It has a routine to create user folders, but first the folder holding the user folders had to be created and r/w permission given to IUSR_. -------------
