Re: Finding out if user has privileges to a diectory.

Here's what I'm trying to do - I want to have a 'global' directory on the
network that users can write to. When the user attempts to write to the
directory, I need to make sure that they have writes to write to that
directory. I'd rather give them a nice message instead of doing a try/catch
when they are done (I'd like to let them know the directory doesn't
exist/they don't have rights to it before we start.)

Any suggestions?

TIA

Jeffrey.
