I am trying to use this bit of code to change the permissions on a file. Apparently it should work but it isn't. I am getting no error messages just nothing is happening. The path to the file is definitley correct. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Code:
<%
strFileOrFolder = "D:WebRoothtdocsProjects est.txt"
strUserName = "Everyone"
I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file. Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving public access to the database file? Code:
Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.
I download an application from a 3rd party for a forum that uses Microsoft Access. When I try to log in, I keep getting an error about the database being read only. I go to the hard drive and right click and uncheck "Read Only" but it never works, I've done this on the database file, the directory it is in, the parent directory, the wwwroot directory, the Inetpub directory.
Does anyone know of an asp script, online somewhere, that I can use to find out the permissions of a folder? My ISP says these folders have full permissions, but my programs say "permission denied". I don't know if it is the programming, or if the folder don't really have the right permissions.
Is there a way to change permissions on a folder in ASP? Basically I make a folder using the FSO, and I want to change the permissions on thaty folder with ASP commands.
I'm trying to write a script that will allow validated users to download a file that has specific ntfs permissions. Here's a summary:
Scenario: 1) The name of the file is "binary.zip". 2) I've created a local account on the server called "dl_user". 3) dl_user is the only account that has permissions on binary.zip. 4) I've written a script that validates several people to access a web page that has a link to binary.zip. However whenever they click it, they get prompted for a username and pw. If they enter the "dl_user" credentials, it works.
Problem: I don't want these people to be prompted for the username and pw. Instead, I'd like IIS, through some ASP mechanism, to pass the dl_user credentials in the background so that the users are completely unaware of the account that has NTFS permissions to the file. Is there any way to do this?
I am methodically working my way through the Sitepoint 'Build your own ASP.NET website' and have been successful in every lesson up to page 279. However I've come stuck when trying to add information to an Access Database. When I try to do so I get the message:
Operation must use an updateable query. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have tried the solution described in the book but still get the message. I am using IIS and XP Professional. The database works for queries so how do I get it to accept information entries?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME way out?
I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?
Is it possible to run an asp script to display the details (i.e. last modifed time/date) of several files held on the client and or on the server running IIS (if i map it to the folder with the files in question).
I am creating something for our intranet and i want to list the files and folders of a directory, i found some code to do this.The only problem is that it lists the asp file used to for example if i go to:"http://myserver/listing.asp" In the file listing will be "listing.asp" amongst a lot of marketing documents.Is there a way to block/stop this one file from being listed?
I am currently working on an ASP based site which displays largely numerical data, which is stored in an access database. I have been asked to create an 'export' page, which, when working properly will allow a user of the site to export the table he or she is looking at and export it to a .CSV file which they can save onto their own machine.
My problem lies here, I can create the .CSV file on the server, BUT permissions on our host are such that the file can only be saved to the 'databases' folder and not on the webroot.
Is there any way in which I can either setup a way for the user to download from the databases folder? or rather than creating the file on the server, directly write the file to the user's machine?
I have a folder that has a batch of leaflets in it, these are PDF files. In my application I have a list of courses and one of the fields has the name of the file.
Is it possible, without automatically having to add them by hand, to grab the file sizes and use them on a page or insert into the relevant db field?
I have a DB table, which contains the name of a image file stored in a folder. What i need to do is somehow retreive this image and display it in an asp page?
I have some ASP pages on my intranet site providing a helpdesk to my users. As part of logging a helpdesk call I am prompting them to link to a file using input type="file".
The file is on a network drive and the problem is when you click on the browse button it defaults to the clients desktop as the starting point of the browsing process. I would like to set a default location to start browsing eg etwork_serverhelpdesk to avoid confusion. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

I keep getting"Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN " errors pointing to my connection string when the same connection string is working for a few of my other pages.The MSAccess database does have the right permissions configured. Below is code I'm using:
<% dbcon="DBQ=" & Server.Mappath("diary.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" Set calConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") calConn.Open dbcon%> <%dim freetsql,rsfree freetsql = "select text_field from diary where dte ='" & dfm & "'" set rsfree = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rsfree.Open freetsql,calConn,3 %>
I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of you have experience with this kind of stuff I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions? Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?
i need to allow my ASP app to append and use data in text file, but restrict users from pointing directly to it and opening it for viewing.

I have a database (*.mdb), which I can connect to, query on, and return results from in ASP. Now, I want to do some ADDs,UPDATEs,and DELETEs.... but I get errors executing my SQL... What's the trick?
PS My connection (thus far) is this, and works.
Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" Conn.Open Server.MapPath("myDatabase.mdb")
