any way to write to the disk on local network?

[Vahan Babakhanian]

I need to write a file to the disk
In my ASP scripts I use this

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(path1 &file_name , True)
ts.WriteLine(eps1)
ts.Close

It works fine within same (local) HD(s)
path2="c:\vahan\"
..
It returns an error when target drive is on another PC in the LAN:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A004C)
Path not found

I tried both ways - by computer name like
path2="\\Braun2\c:\vahan\"

or by network drive like
path2="h:\vahan\"

neither works...

Is it possible to write to the (local) network drive?

Thanks for advices,
Vahan

First, change
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(path1 &file_name , True)
to
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(path1 &file_name , ForWriting, True)
where
Const ForWriting = 2

Then use
Server.MapPath(file_name)
instead of
path1 &file_name
as the path must be relative to where your Web page is.

Or you can use a virtual directory to point to another folder.
