Setting File/Folder Permissions
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 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 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.

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'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 am currently working on an ASP based site which displays largely numerical data, which is stored in an access database. I have been asked to create an 'export' page, which, when working properly will allow a user of the site to export the table he or she is looking at and export it to a .CSV file which they can save onto their own machine.
My problem lies here, I can create the .CSV file on the server, BUT permissions on our host are such that the file can only be saved to the 'databases' folder and not on the webroot.
Is there any way in which I can either setup a way for the user to download from the databases folder? or rather than creating the file on the server, directly write the file to the user's machine?

I have some ASP pages on my intranet site providing a helpdesk to my users. As part of logging a helpdesk call I am prompting them to link to a file using input type="file".
The file is on a network drive and the problem is when you click on the browse button it defaults to the clients desktop as the starting point of the browsing process. I would like to set a default location to start browsing eg etwork_serverhelpdesk to avoid confusion. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

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?
