Hi All

I just started using Curl. I am getting the message below. It can't write to
my own folder. Can you tell me a setting of some type to make it write?
Thanks.

Your screenshot shows you issuing a curl command from the C:\> prompt
trying to write the result to a file within the root directory of C, ie you are
trying to create

C:\scorecard.htm

Windows protects the root directory of the drive, I think. Try again but
specifiy an output file within a subdirectory.

Ok thanks. I did that and got the same results.

Ah but this time you supplied only a folder name. I meant
something like

--output "C:\this\or that\other\scorecard.htm"


Also, there's no need to reply to me directly - I will see replies
in the mail list. And a simple c&p of your command & output
rather than a screnshot makes it easier to comment on parts
of the command, if that becomes necessary.

Wrong filename?

Missing double quote at the end of that filename.
