The problem is that the user executing [shell] (typically nobody or wwwuser or some such under *nix) has no rights for the folder that is the default directory (I haven't played around with this so I am not sure if it is the root of the virtual host or the WebCatalogEngine directory). Do these two things: 1) create a directory that is owned by the web user (this may be the pwd directory you want to write to); 2) give the absolute pathname as part of the wget command line -O option, e.g. wget -O /var/www/site1/some/directory/pwd/My_file - "http://www.google.com" And this should work. If you are curious what directory is the default for [shell], try this: [shell]echo $PWD[/shell] which will tell you; I strongly suspect this is a platform dependent location (I would expect Win32 to be different than any *nix platform).
