Create a textfile on my server ?

[\(\( Olivier \)\)]

Hello,

I would like to be able to create a textfile on a sub directory of my
website
But I've alwais hace "Acces forbitten"

I use: WinXP pro, VS.NET 2003, IIS 5

Here's what I do :

Dim fs As New
StreamWriter(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/MyWebSite/DirFiles/Test.tx
t"))
fs.WriteLine(Now)
fs.Close()

I've checked the "Read" and "Write" permision in IIS ?

But, it doesn't work, why ?

thanks
Olivier

Yes, you'd likely need to coordinate this somewhat complex security issue
with your web host. They often have custum security set ups.
