Permission denied when using fs.CreateFolder(path)

[AndrewM]

Hello everyone,

I have an asp page with a create folder script

fs.CreateFolder(path)

When running this on the server I get a Permission denied message as the
IUSER account has no write permission. Does anyone know if I can get this
page to login as a different user in order to run this script ?

Any help or advise will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew.

You can authenticate your user with Windows authentication, but why wouldn't
you just give IUSR permission to create folders if that's what your
application needs to do?

Hello,

My IUSR account is setup with guest group. Do I just change this to users
group or is there a better way to give write permissions ?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Yeah, I'd still leave the group membership alone, and then just give
explicit permission for IUSR to modify the directory in which you want to
create folders. So, if you want IUSR to be able to create directories in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sitename, pull up the properties dialog of the "sitename"
folder in Windows Explorer, go to the security tab, add IUSR_computername,
and either give the user full control, or select individual permissions.
