Re Setting File Permissions...
I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved
from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting
FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server
configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage
options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any
online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for
links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master
database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file.
Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving
public access to the database file? Code:

Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.

I am trying to use this bit of code to change the permissions on a file. Apparently it should work but it isn't. I am getting no error messages just nothing is happening. The path to the file is definitley correct. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Code:
<%
strFileOrFolder = "D:WebRoothtdocsProjects est.txt"
strUserName = "Everyone"
dim objWSH
set objWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Call objWSH.Run("cmd /c echo y| CACLS " & strFileOrFolder & " /G /T " & trim(strUserName) & ":f", 0, True)
set objWSH = Nothing
%>

I download an application from a 3rd party for a forum that uses Microsoft Access. When I try to log in, I keep getting an error about the database being read only. I go to the hard drive and right click and uncheck "Read Only" but it never works, I've done this on the database file, the directory it is in, the parent directory, the wwwroot directory, the Inetpub directory.

I'm trying to write a script that will allow validated users to
download a file that has specific ntfs permissions. Here's a summary:
Scenario:
1) The name of the file is "binary.zip".
2) I've created a local account on the server called "dl_user".
3) dl_user is the only account that has permissions on binary.zip.
4) I've written a script that validates several people to access a web
page that has a link to binary.zip. However whenever they click it,
they get prompted for a username and pw. If they enter the "dl_user"
credentials, it works.
Problem:
I don't want these people to be prompted for the username and pw.
Instead, I'd like IIS, through some ASP mechanism, to pass the dl_user
credentials in the background so that the users are completely unaware
of the account that has NTFS permissions to the file. Is there any way
to do this?

I am methodically working my way through the Sitepoint 'Build your own ASP.NET website' and have been successful in every lesson up to page 279. However I've come stuck when trying to add information to an Access Database. When I try to do so I get the message:
Operation must use an updateable query.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have tried the solution described in the book but still get the message. I am using IIS and XP Professional. The database works for queries so how do I get it to accept information entries?

I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?

I have a compiled activex dll component on my server. When I log into the website under the administrator I can successfully access the dll, however using another windows NT user simply shows 'unable to create component due to permission'.I have ensured that the user in question has all writes to the dll file on the server, including the IUSR and IWAM accounts.

Does anyone know of an asp script, online somewhere, that I can use to find
out the permissions of a folder? My ISP says these folders have full
permissions, but my programs say "permission denied". I don't know if it is
the programming, or if the folder don't really have the right permissions.

I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of
you have experience with this kind of stuff
I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their
own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to
create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish
this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions?
Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these
directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the
script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?

How do I setup perrmissions in my FTP to allow anonymous access where you can only upload to and download from a separate folder but not create sub folders or change any permissions etc.
I have my trusted users with extended permission in like c:ftproot ame1, c:ftproot ame2 etc and would like to have my anonymous access directed to something like c:anonymous. I do not want them to see the trusted accounts. Can I and how do I do that?

I have a mixure of .htm / .html / .asp files on an IIS Server at our main office. When people at another location goto the web they can view the .htm,.html files but can't access the .asp because of permissions.
Now i've checked the permissions on the individual files and the two file types have the same permission settings. Is there something in the ASP platform that adds extra permissions to .asp files. (Active Directory wise).
