Does VPS support file functions?

 

Having checked and seen no obvious lack of support other than for DLLs, I have just improved an EA to save some state information periodically to better handle a VPS server restarting unexpectedly


On migrating it to VPS it gets a spurious error message saying it is using an obsolete ex5 format and requesting it is recompiled, however recompiling it does not solve the problem.


I've put the old version live and it's worked straight away which suggests the obsolete message is a spurious error and is masking another problem  - and that means I'm suspecting that VPS does NOT support file read and write since that is really the only change.


Can anyone confirm whether file read and write is supported under VPS?


thanks
