File System Object

[TheLeeMan]

Hey everyone;

I have written some code that scans through directories on a server searching for specific files using the file system object.
However some directories are not accessable by the Annonymose I_USR account and return a "Permission denied" error when the directory is searched.

Is there anyway to:
(1) Get around this and still gain access
(2) or, detect the permission and not search the directory

Thanks for any input or suggestions you might have.

If you're in an NT environment and trying to hit folders over the network one thing you can try is to create a network account for IUSR rather than using a local account for it. Then you can assign permissions for IUSR on any resources you want it to be able to access.

Good luck,
Paul
