Jeff,
I enter a command and all I get is a print out of the results.txt. Can you explain your logic behind doing this.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

 
12/7/2001 1:07:41 PMJeff Smith

The logic? By using this application you are running DOS commands on the web server. Basically, command.asp takes your commands and sends it to process.asp which opens WSH and runs the command in DOS and then sends the results to results.txt so you can see what happens. You can run commands to start and stop web services or simply ping from the server all from ASP. The logic is you don't have to telnet in to the server to run DOS commands.

Looks like this doesn't filter out quotation marks. Anyway - I entered AT 4:00PM csscript.exe c:\someVBapp.vbs. and got an access is denied message. I assume this is an IUSER permissions issue, but the directory that the app is in gives full control to the IUSER account. Any suggestions as to where I might be able to track this down, or what I need to modify for it to work? Thanks.

1.)Disabled anonymous user and I login with an Administrators account.
2.)It only works in Low (IIS Process) Why?

thanks.

I have played with your code, I have tried to troubleshoot it. I made sure that "results.txt" was in a location where the script has write access and made sure that the code in the script was updated to reflect the new location of the results.txt. I tried typing "netstat", I recieved:

I tried typing in "ping www.cisco.com", I recieved, the same result as above, and even when I tried typing "unga bunga boo!" I recieved the pinging yahoo result. I have traced through your code, and I see no reason as to why it DOESNT work... but it doesnt. Any ideas?

excellent script.I gave it five votes.
How can I secure the script from users who have an account on my webserver. Couldn't someone easily upload it and format my hard-drive.

2 things of interest that i did to make it work:
1) don't put the ASP pages in a directory with a space in it (i.e. "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\asp dos\"), it belches trying to find results.txt that way.
2) put the full path in the redirect of process.asp (i.e. "&redirect_url=http://localhost/dos/command.asp?file=y"). Otherwise, great work!
