I'm trying to use fstream to read and write files, but for some reason it can't open OR create files. I've been looking through this issue for some time now and its quite frustrating. I also tried using the old method of FILE* and fopen but it always returns NULL.

This is a huge problem and since it works with the server side (which isn't using esenthel) I figured it must be related to this.

ofstream f;
f.open("d:\\file");
f<<"Some text\n";
f.close();

int a;
ifstream f;
f.open("d:\\file");
f>>a;
f.close();

This should work;

ugh silly me, theres no problem at all. The directory didn't exist (although i thought it would be created). Thanks anyways for your help.
