Unable to Save ASP pages to a Web Server

[Guest]

I store my ASP pages on a web server in wwwroot. I have a drive mapped to the
web server/directory. I can go to that drive and open the ASP page and Front
Page opens the page with no problem. When I'm done and I try to save it, I
get the error "Server error: Cannot open file .......... for writing."

What I have to do is save it to my desktop and then drag it from there to
original location on the web server.

Can someone help me fix this?

You should be opening, working and viewing the site via http, not the drive letter.

I'm not sure what you mean. How else would I open my page to edit it? Even if
I start FP and open the ASP page by accessing it from the bottom pane, it
does the same thing.

Your Web server should not be a mapped drive - if you want to use a
local mapped drive to create your pages and then publish from the local
drive to the server, that will work.

Otherwise, if you want to continue working directly on the server, then
instead of opening the site in FrontPage by going to a mapped drive
(g:\inetpub\wwwroot\myweb), open the site by using the url:
http://myweb.com (or whatever the address to your site is).

I hope this helps.
