How can create a file on my homesite directory or edit it. I need this code working on Windows 2000 server with NTFS file system.

Ex: when i excute an asp page it's automatically create a html file that contain some data on server.

You can use the filesystem object to create files

Well if you are going to be writing a large amount of data, you just might want to look at a database solution.

The web user account will need to have write privileges in the directory you want to create the file. If you're running on a hosted web server, the admins will have to set that permission for you.

aspdad pointed the way: you can use the filesystemobject to generate a static file. Have a go.

With an ASP page your code generates html and sends it to the response. With the filesystemobject method your code will basically be the same but you will instead add the generated html to a file using the filesystemobject.

As said above, you will need to make sure the web user account has correct permissions to wherever you are writing the file. In windows 2000 you need to set the approp. ntfs permissions. HTH.
