Uploading files Access Denied Error

Apr 12th, 2006

Hi all,
I am very happpy to return back again to you.
This time i have a critical problem about uploading files on the server by asp.net.
I choosed the HTML control "File" and Make it run as server control , and got its file name by the statement
string fname=File1.PostedFile.FileName
then i want to save it on the server Hard Disk so i used the statement :

try
{
File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Project\\"+ff));
}
catch
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath("Project\\"+ff));
File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Project\\"+ff));
}

When running the page the following exception occured
Access to the path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cubicle\Project\MyFile.doc" is denied.
which "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Cubicle\" is my project directory (my project name is Cubicle)
Note : i configured the IIS options to be write ,read, and Directory browsing . and the problem is still exist .
Can any one help me ?
Thank You.

There are two places the permissions need to fixed at for upload to work:
1. IIS on the folder you want to upload you need to check the allow write check box
2. right click the actual folder in file explorer and allow everyone to write to this folder. Please remember the web user is a low permission user IIS_ somthing.
