I have problem of copying folders and files with ASP. ASP code uses robocopy.exe and everything goes fine if source folder has at least Everyone Change rights. Everything else I have tried gives an error "Access denied". I thought IIS/ASP is using SYSTEM account, but obviously I was wrong. Could anybody help me, please?
And IUSR r/w access to the source folder didn't solve the problem!!!

You need to ask your admin.
IIS should never run with full admin permissions. That's how systems get compromised. Just like on *nix, you set your web server as "nobody", not "root". ;)

Didn't help me, because I am the admin :eek:
Now I'm feeling so amateur ... :(
Should I configure IIS somehow or how can I solve this?

Thanks for answering anyhow.
