Permissions foor newly created files

Hi there,

I'm struggling with this problem: in a website I
developed, XML files are created by users of the site to
describe. The creation is OK, the (new) file is present,
but it can not be read by any website visitor.

How can the default permission become at least readable?

It's a ASP script running on W2K, using the
FileSystemObjec t component.

Thanks in advance!

If you were to set the permissions on the directory they were being created
in to propagate to sub directories and files, and include the IUSR_<computer
name> account on that directory that should be enough.

I created a (real estate) site which has an area that is used by the agent to post and edit property listings. They have the ability here to upload pictures. If the listing is new, it is assigned an ID, info posted to database and a directory created using the ID to hold the uploaded pics. The problem I have is that when they add a listing and the directory gets created, it is uid/gid apache/apache, and this should work fine for web...

Hi This has been tickling my mind for quite some time. Can someone tell me if Access 2003 has a solution for it. After a period of development, your front end will definitely bloat despite all the compacting and decompiling you do. The best solution so far I have found is to create a fresh new mdb file and import all table (links), queries, forms, reports, menu, macros and modules. That is great: file size shrinks and it runs faster...

Hello: I had a nice php application running on my server here at home, and I uploaded it to a shared public type server and it started to break all over the place. It turns out that some scripts required higher permissions that others, but I can't figure out what the difference is. They all read from the database. Some write to the database, but not all the ones that require higher permissions do. I don't understand what it is about...

I need some advice re permissions etc. Here's the situation: at my workplace, I have a website which sits in a folder created by the IT manager, and given certain permissions (I'm not even yet sure how to determine what the permissions are). Whenever I'm at my workplace I just copy and paste files from my local machine to the web folder and it's on the web. Easy! But at home, I have dialup access and needed to upload files to the same folder....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
