Thanks Peter,
alas I tried to stop and start the service but to no avail. My local machine
has been rebooted so it must be to do with the remote IIS (I was pretty sure
of this anyway).
I renamed the file from nwlog to nwlogo.txt and it copied through as 3196
bytes, as soon as i renamed it back to nwlog.txt and copied it through it
went down to 108 bytes or something similar. Very frustrating wish I knew
how to fix it.
At least you have helped me decide what is going on, now I don't think I am
going crazy. Still on the lookout for a solution though
Cheers,
Matt.
P.S. I think you just earned yourself half a chocolate fish or half a beer
your choice !
