cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_create - Downloading to a USB Stick

Hi,

I'm using the Class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES method DIRECTORY_CREATE to create a folder and then load some files into it.  If I download the files on to my computer it works fine, but if I try to down load to a USB stick I get a DIRECTORY_ACCESS_DENIED error.  Does anyone know why this happening.  The requirement is to download to a USB stick.

Thanks,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

Even downloading to  USB will work fine.

May be there is no permission to create on the USB stick.

Interesting question... I also would guess this should work for USB as well. But there is probably some problem with permissions at the OS level.

I've noticed that at least starting from Windows 7 (it wasn't like that in XP) OS has become completely paranoid (or maybe it's just our Help Desk). Now I cannot put any files on C drive root folder and even when just extracting innocent data from SAP (e.g. from an ALV report) to a local drive I'm getting requests to grant special permissions. It's super-annoying.

Actually try the same - download any standard report to that USB stick and see if it works or you get a no access message. It's likely not just your program.
