Creating Directories on the fly

[dkn]

Hi

I have a document management system that uses the ASPSimpleUpload component to upload the files to the server. We have recently moved servers and the way the upload performs has changed.

When I was previously uploading a document, if the directory structure it was required to be uploaded didn't exist, the upload would automatically create it. Now I get an error message saying I dont have the necessary permission to do this. I've tried giving Everyone Full Control of the folder, but it doesn't resolve the problem.

Anyone any ideas why I may not be able to create directories on the fly?

Both the old server and new server are running IIS 4

Okay, more info for anyone who may be able to help.

I can create a single sub directory on the fly, but when I want to create multple level subdirs on the fly I get the error telling me to check the permissions.

example

if I upload a file with say the following path

/test_folder/new_folder/testfile.asp

where only the folder test_folder exists it will create new_folder and save testfile.asp in there.

if I upload a file with the following path

/test_folder/new_folder/new_sub_folder/testfile.asp

I get an error saying I dont have permissions

#########################

I've checked the permissions on the 'new_folder' directory after its created, and they are Full Control All/All, so I don't see why it won't let me create the 'new_sub_folder'.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

(Again, just to stress this was working on the previous web server unaltered so I don't think its the code)

Thanks David
