FileSystemObject problem

[OutInLeftField]

I want to copy a file from a network drive to a local drive (c:\ or d:\).

Problem is when I execute the following,
source = request("source&quot
destination = request("destination&quot

fso.copyfile source,destination


I am using an input field with the type "file" to display a browser button. After the user chooses the file/folder to copy for source and destination, he/she clicks on submit button. If the files are in the server itself, the copy works; however, if the file is on the users machine's harddrive, I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'

Path not found

/deptinfo/phonlist/CopyFiles.asp, line 14

line fourteen is:

fso.copyfile source,destination

I am guessing that the c:\ drive portion fails because the c:\ is the harddrive on the Web Server not the c drive on my machine.

How can I copy a file from my machine's harddrive to the network and vise versa?

Thanks

The user the IIS runs under is not a domain user by default. So it can't access network drives. Two ways around this are set the account the IIS services use to be a domain user, or look on the msdn.microsoft.com for impersonate user, this is code for a dll to allow ASP to impersonate a user you need full credentials username/password but it works.

Hope this help, let me know.
