did you create that application as an activex component? then you can use asp to invoke it. If not (just commandline) then you have to create a wscript.shell object and execute the commandline that way

search for wscript.shell on this forum (or google) it will give you something to start with

i disable execute on my ftp server when setting up accounts so its possible to do it remotely, i dont know about though asp

It's best to deploy it as an active x dll. That way you can call the functions from your asp code.

I didn't think IIS gave you script access to the WScript object for security. That is why you have to use the Server object... i.e. Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

there you have it
