Using System File Object to access / write files on a network drive.

Anyone know how this can be done using Javascript? I can do this without trouble on local drives, but I bump into "permission Denied" errors and such when I try it in a network location.

I've never tried using it, but I've heard that WMI is better for network scripting than the FSO. A good resource to start would be the Hey, Scripting Guy! archives.

Is it a network location (ie: \\yourserver\yourdir) or a mapped drive (yourdir on 'yourserver' (M:))?
I've used the FSO over mapped drives before, so I know that works, but not over network shares directly (I've got a feeling it likes a drive letter at the start of its paths).

If your using a direct network share, there might be a security function in Javascript /the FSO that doesn't allow it - You know, the same as it can't read data across domains.

If you haven't already, try mapping the share as a local drive.
