I've got an ASP3 (IIS6) site, in which some scripts need to generate
temporary files in order to work. Now, the fact is: I would like those
temporary files to be deleted when a user's session ends (even though i've
got infinite hosting space, i feel it somewhat impolite to leave GB's of
useless temp files ;-) ).
The Session_OnEnd event, though, seems to have some problems in doing this:
1. I found in MSDN that it couldn't call Server.MapPath( ). Not a big
problem, I hardcoded the base path and everything should have worked well.
2. The FileSystemObjec t.DeleteFile() method, though, seems to suffer from
the same problem: i get no error output on Session.Abandon () but the files
are still there.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks in advance

ehp... not possible... i mean, have an hosting plan so i can't access the

that specific folder.

Session and Application events run under the IWAM account, not the IUSR.
There is no other solution. IWAM needs file-system permissions for that
folder.

No way to get that. But I've found another solution... i'll use a BLOB in
the mysql database where i surely have all the access rights i need. Thanx

Can you say performance hit? I chose a different path for cleanup. I wrote
a routine the merchant runs once a day. It cleans up all temp files 3 days
or older, or whatever their retention setting is.

I think there are web-based cron-type services out there that will allow you
to schedule hits against your URLs from their remote servers. You can also
