access denied error

[inlandpac]

Hello,

After searching and following the instructions that I found on a number of locations, I am at a loss.

I have a file upload script (very simple) that is trying to upload to c:\tmpfiles

I set permissions for the ASP.NET user as well as the IUSR_{machinename} to have full access to c:\tmpfiles.

I have c:\tmpfiles set up as a virtual directory called tmpfiles (which is why in the code below you see /tmpfiles.

But, I still get the error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Access to the path 'C:\tmpfiles' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\tmpfiles' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

It was a code problem. I rewrote the code to look like:

            Dim strFileType As String = strFile.PostedFile.ContentType
            Dim intFileSize As Integer = strFile.PostedFile.ContentLength
            Dim strpath As String
            Dim strFileName As String

            strFileName = strFile.PostedFile.FileName

            strpath = Server.MapPath("/tmpfiles/") & strFileName

            strFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(strpath)
            fileUploading.Visible = False
            msg.Text = "File Uploaded ..." & strFileName & " - " & strpath
