ASP Script errors.. Only just started happenng....!

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied


This happens when I try and delete a file using :

<!-- asp -->

<%
deletefile = request.querystring("file")
set objfso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
if objfso.fileexists (server.mappath("backup/" & deletefile)) then
objfso.deletefile(server.mappath("backup/" & deletefile))

<!-- asp -->


This has worked in the past, but not now..
I think I've screwed the permissions, but can't work out what.

The folder structure is:

TESTSITE
  ---> backup
  ---> images

In the testsite root is the asp pages
The backup folder holds backup files
Images holds .... Images !

I have set Administrators with Full Control, and IUSER with READ, WRITE,
READ, EXECUTE & LIST.

I have set for all the permissions to be passed to all files and folders
off the root of TestSite!! (I think !)

This is on Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 Server.

This worked on my old HardDisk, I cloned that and now running on a new disk
!

Any Advice ??

Hi,

If your site is configured for anonymous accesss, the iusr_ account will be
the account that needs premissions to delete the file. Why it have worked in
the past but not now I dont know, have you changed any configuration setting
in iis?
