Hi,
I'm creating an application where users can register and after that access to a personal mailbox. I insert user's data into tha database, and after that I have to create a folder in the server with the name of the user. For example, after Tony registers, my ASP page should create a new folder "c:\users\Tony". How can I do that?
I'm working with ASP Javascript server model.
Thanks,

ok, I'm a VBScript guy and I'll show you how to do it that way...

Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"

If Not objFSO.FolderExists("C:\users\Tony" then
objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\users\Tony"
End If

This checks to make sure that the directory doesn't exist because when working with FSO, the script will create (overwrite) the directory no matter if it exists or not...if it doesnt exist, then it is created...you can write your own ELSE statement to handle what happens if the dir DOES exist...

also, you have to make sure that the appropriate user (iusr, everyone...whatever) has WRITE permissions on the parent directory.

If it HAS to be JavaScript, I can't help you.
