Hallo!
I have created an VB-ActiveX-Componente that copy files on network.
This works on one my development computer when I install application
on other IIS servers (files to copy on same server with same rights) I
get error message "Invalid filename or number". So what can cause this
problems?
Thnaks in advance!

a) Are you using a UNC path?
b) What user context is the component running under?
Cheers

>a) Are you using a UNC path?
Yes, I already found out tha mapped drives aren't supported b) What user context is the component running under?
As I know components are running under IIS always under the user
"IUSR_XXX" (XXX = machine name), this is a locale user so I set access
rights of files on network so that "Everyone" can read them.

But IUSR is a local account and will not be in the network server's Everyone
group.
You need to force ASP to run under a network account which has permissions
to te network resources needed. This can be done in the Directory Security
tab in IIS Manager.

"Everyone" on server B only includes users who are valid on server B. Local
users on Server A are not valid on Server B (so they are not in the
"everyone" group on server B). The only ways to make it work is to either:
a) create a user on Server B called IUSR_ServerA, and give it the same
password as IUSR_ServerA on Server A (additionally, you will need to still
allow NTLM or LanMan access - Kerberos won't allow this type of
authentication)
-or-
b) (not 100% sure this will work) include the "anonymous" access token in
the "everyone" group on server B (NOT RECOMMENDED, since this means that any
anonymous access / null session can connect).

Thanks alot Bob, this solves the problem! I always thought that
"Everyone" means really everyone, all domain users as well as all
other users such as locole one.

I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs in
size. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from one
server to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to a
different server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windows
file copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to
4mb/sec throughput for copying.
Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?...

What could be the reason? What would be the best solution; is it feasible to

Using .NET 2.0 is it more efficient to copy files to a single folder versus
spreading them across multiple folders.
For instance if we have 100,000 files to be copied,
Do we copy all of them to a single folder called 'All Files'
Do we spread them out and copy them to multiple folders like
Folder 000 - Copy files from 0 to 1000
Folder 001 - Copy files from 1000 to 2000
Folder 002 - Copy files from 2000 to 2999

Here is my code:

This code copies only 5 or 10 files but in "files" collection there is 60
