The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

Question:
What permissions do I need to use the FTP2 ActiveX in ASP? Here is my error log:

Server object error ‘ASP 0178 : 80070005′

Server.CreateObject Access Error

/something/something/ftp.asp, line 26

The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

Answer:

I’m not going to answer this question directly other than to say that the Chilkat ActiveX components are plain-vanilla ActiveX components, and there is nothing special about them that require special permissions for the Chilkat DLLs as opposed to any other DLL.

The self-help answer is: Go to Google and cut-and-paste the error message into the Google search text box: "The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object." This usually provides the answer. In this case, the 1st search result explains that: It is an NTFS permission problem. Give Everyone Full Control over the file something.dll.
