FAQs

• Where creates the temporary files?

At the same directory where it zip and unzip, so take care of the write permissions. Starting version 2.1 you can set the temp directory.

• I always get an error of write permissions?

This is usually the problem of a bad configuration on the IIS and the security option. First check on the IIS the directory security option, go to modify authentication control and anonymous access, then check the user for anonymous, usually is IUSER_MachineName, but could be whatever, make sure the password is the same.
Then go to the directory where you are setting the zip files and check the security page, and add write permission to the user.

• Can I use it on the Visual Basic

Yes, go to the examples to view a sample on how to use it.

• The WaspZip component does the same but also sends an Email, how I do that with the aspEasyZIP?

The aspEasyZIP doesn't integrate the SMTP protocol on the component and there is no plan to use it on the near future, but there is a way, if you use the w3 JMail component that is also freeware. Look at this example:

Compress the files as seen on the examples section then add the following:

Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")
' This is my local SMTP server
JMail.ServerAddress = "mail.yourdomain.com:25"

' This is me....
JMail.Sender = "myemail@mydomain.net"
JMail.Subject = "Here you go..."

' Get the recipients mailbox from a form (note the lack of a equal sign).
JMail.AddRecipient "mum@any.com"
JMail.AddRecipient "dad@some.com"

' The body property is both read and write.
' If you want to append text to the body you can
' use JMail.Body = JMail.Body & "Hello world!"
' or you can use JMail.AppendText "Hello World!"
' which in many cases is easier to use.
JMail.Body = "Here you go. Your request has been approved" &_
"and the program is attached to this message"

' Must make sure that IUSR_???? has access to the following files.
' And you have compress the file with the aspEasyZIP
JMail.AppendBodyFromFile "e:\mail\standard_footer.txt"
JMail.AddAttachment "e:\products\MyProduct.zip"

' Send it...
JMail.Execute
