If my local path for doing 'streamwrite' is
'd:\inetput\wwwroot\webproject1', when I upload it to the host server
and my webprojects root is 'e:\web\tribidzcom0\htdocs' how would I put
that in this so that it writes temp files to the servers drive?:
Dim sw As StreamWriter
sw = New StreamWriter("e:\web\tribidzcom0\htdocs\temp", True).

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Trint

Assuming that the folder is somewhere in your web site, use the
Server.MapPath() method, which takes a relative URL and returns an absolute
file path. However, be advised that your hosting service isn't likely to
allow your app to write files to their system.

I've already asked them because I have to create results.html files and
that is when they gave me the "e:\web\tribidzcom0\htdocs" as the root
for my website.
Can you give me an example of what this should look like with
Server.MapPath() ?
sw = New StreamWriter("e:\web\tribidzcom0\htdocs\tempfiles", True)
