Access to path xxx denied when uploading a file using c#

Hi

I have a file upload app written in c#. The app runs on IIS on a Windows 2003 Server OS. I want the app to upload the file onto the server (The app and the server are on the same machine).

This code has been working fine for a long time running on Windows Server 2000, and Windows XP Professional. Now when I moved onto Windows Server 2003, it stopped working.

I have given ASPNET account full access to the folder on the server, and it still gives this error.

Is this a bug in 2003, and can anybody assist me

Thanks

Shane

Most probably this is a permissions issue.

Please note that on XP the worker processes run under NETWORK Service account on windows 2003.

By turning on auditing, you can easily pinpoint these issues.

1. START -> RUN -> Secpol.msc
2. Select local policies
3. Select Audit Policy
4. Audit Object Access - Change this to log failures,

Then you can look into the Event Viewer and pinpoint excatly where the issue is

That was exactly the problem. I made the "Network Service" have full control on the folder, and the file upload was a success. Thank you very much!
