I am trying to execute the code on a classic asp page from an asp.net page, both the asp and aspx files are in the same folder on the server.

I want to call this asp page as I would like to copy some files on the server which are out the web applications folder but still in my ftp area of the server, I can do this in classic asp, but I can’t do it in asp.net as the security level has been set to medium.

I am working with vb.net 2.0

If any one has any ideas I would be appreciate it.

Thank you

You should be able to do this without any problem AFAIK.

see the following example...

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string url = Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host + ":" + Request.Url.Port;
        for(int i = 0; i < Request.Url.Segments.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            url += Request.Url.Segments[i];
        }
        url += "test.asp";
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

        string result;

        using (System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            result = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }

        Response.Write(result);
    }
}

I have got this from your code:

    Sub CallASP(ByVal srtURL As String)
        Dim url As String = Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host.ToString + ":" + Request.Url.Port
        For i As Integer = 0 To request.Url.Segments.Length - 2
            url += request.Url.Segments(i)
        Next
        url += srtURL
        Dim request2 As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)
        Dim response As WebResponse = request2.GetResponse()

        Dim result As String

        Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
            result = reader.ReadToEnd()
        End Using
    End Sub

 I get this error:

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format

on this line:

Dim url As String = Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host.ToString + ":" + Request.Url.Port

Fixed the earlier error changed the line to:

Dim url As String = Request.Url.Scheme & "://" + Request.Url.Host.ToString & ":" & Request.Url.Port

 I not get this error:

Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.  To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

 on this line:

Dim request2 As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)

Try adding <trust level="high" originUrl="whatever your site url here" /> to your web.config system.web section. if that doesn't work try level="full" if not, well, hehehe.
