Re: FolderExists and UNC path

Traditionally ASP uses the IUSR_<machinename> account so try mapping a drive using that username and password or assigning permissions to that account or changing to a different one if you don't know or can't change the password. (It's also difficult giving permissions on a remote machine to a local account, you need to create one on the remote machine with identical name and password.)
When you've sorted out what's happening you can decide how to proceed bearing in mind that giving the ASP account higher privileges can be dangerous from a security stand point.

Hi,

When I ran this command from the server logged with my user it
works, when I ran this command form my PC too.
The problem is when I ran the asp page from my PC using an Internet
Explorer.

I post the problem here, (not in the ASP group) becouse I think
that the problem is related to vbscript code or permissions.

Thanks

What happens when you type these commands from a Command Prompt?

dir \\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$
if exist \\BAIVMAST3\cvmData$ (echo Folder found) else (echo Folder not
found)- Ocultar texto de la cita -
