I want to use the FileInput node and FileOutput node in Broker 6.1 on windows to read and write on a maped networke drive but all I get is error messages saying it cant find the path or the permissions are wrong.
Is this possible or do I have to use ftp ( not what I want to do !!! ) ??
Another remark on the FileOutput node. If I write a file test.txt to a dir it first writes it to a tmp dir and then moves it... Thats perfect, to bad it doesnt say anything about it in the help... anyway if the broker writes it to the tmp dir and then crash it will be a test.txt file left in the tmp dir. This will cause the FileOutput to always fail trying to write test.txt !!! can this be varified by someone ?
Thanks

What's the path?
Is the map created in the context of the Broker service user? Just because you map the drive while logged in as an Admin, doesn't mean that it's visible to the broker process...
There's a relatively undocumented method to add scripts to the mqsiprofile, by putting them in <MQSI-WORKPATH>\common\profiles\. On windows these need to be .cmd files, on unix they are .sh.
You can create a script here and add a script to "net use" the drive to create the mapping.

I log on to the win system using a brkadmin user, the same user running the Broker. I map the drive in windows as Z: and then I can create and delete files on Z but when I try to do it from the broker I got the error messages.

Okay, so you log in as the broker service user, and map the drive.
Nothing you have done there makes the drive map visible in the environment that the Broker is running in - because Broker has already started up as a background service and the drive wasn't mapped in that command shell at that time.
You should discuss this thread with your Windows administrator. She should be able to help you better understand it, and help you to map the drive in the correct way at the correct time.

The Microsoft Knowledge Base has helpful information on this subject (and that's a sentance I never expected to be writing), but really you need to talk to your Windows person. Depending on how your individual site controls network drive assignment, there are a number of possible steps you could take. Some of which won't work because they don't match your setup.
Talk to the admin & get them to ensure the correct drive mapping is available to the broker.
