I'm having some trouble uploading a file to my webserver, using the new My.Computer.Network.UploadFile method.
This is the code i am using (The credentials are fictitious
Dim filepathupload As String = "C:\uploadtest.txt" Dim urlupload As String = "http://hamdisk.hamdev.com/jacob/uploadtest.txt" Dim username As String = "jacob" Dim password As String = "JCrules" Try My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(filepathupload, urlupload, username, password) Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) Finally MsgBox("Try Completed") 'To show the end of the try End Try |
So, that's my code.
The error I am receiving from the Catch MsgBox is "The request was aborted: The request was canceled".
I can get and FTP location to work, just not HTTP.
I hope some one will know what's up.
Thanks in advance,
Hamish.

Hi,
What we meant by permission is to grant the ASP-user account write previleges to your folder.

I agree with Paul. You need to check the permissions. specifically, check if the 'WRITE' permissions have been added for the user on the virtual directory.

Hi,
Sorry if I took a long time answering your post. Its ben quite a time since I have the luxury of checking the forums. Been quite busy a while.
Well, to your inquiry. You need to add permission to the Asp.Net account because when you upload a file. Its not your local user account that's accessing the virtual folder in your server. The account responsible for this is the ASP.Net account. That's why you need to set its permission...

Have you tried checking on your virtual directory permissions on the server
