Access is Denied error with UploadFile
John Ashbaugh
I am trying to upload a file from the web client and I get an access
is denied msg. People can access this folder through network so I am
confused why I am getting an error. Any help would be appreciated.
' Create a new WebClient instance.
Dim myWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient()
Response.Write(ControlChars.Cr + "Please enter the URL to post data to : ")
Dim uriString As String = "\\192.168.1.56\vctemp"
Response.Write(ControlChars.Cr + "Please enter the fully qualified path of
the file to be uploaded to the URL")
Dim fileName As String = "c:\config.txt"
' Upload the file to the Url using the HTTP 1.0 POST.
Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadFile(uriString, "POST",
fileName)

The aspnet account has administrator rights(I know this isn't a good
setup, but it's all on my local computer and testing only) If I try to use a
network drive it gives me the bad password or login. Where can I setup the
login as password for aspnet to use for hopefully get any of this resolved?
The \\192.168.1.56\vctemp folder is a folder that I setup as shared. People
can map the drive from their computers as well. Thanks in advance.

What you need to do is to go to the folder in your web applcation in which
you are trying to save the files. Then in the -->properties-->security, add
aspnet user of ur machine to it and give him full rights ... i.e. read /
write ...
It should work after that.

Yes I saw that on the asp error however I do not have a security tab
anywhere on the folder. I am using xp pro and am hosting everything on one
computer. So I went to users and modified the aspnet_wp account and get it
admin rights. Am I missing something else?

Yes confusing isn't it? You have to go to the folder options and turn off
simple file sharing. Then all the standard permissions tabs turn up again.
It's a standard case of MS simplifying things and in the process making them
even more complicated.
If you've assigned Admin rights to your ASP.NET user it may be that these
rights won't take effect until you restart. Applying permissions to folders
is instant.

users have permissions. Under the securities option of the folder aspnet_wp
account has all permissions checked but the special permissions is greyed
out. I am going crazy! Is there anything else I am missing? XP PRO

ACCOUNT has all permissions, ASPNET_WP is set as an administrator. Anyone
else need to be setup?

said, all I did was grant write permissions to the Internet Guest Account
for the upload folder.
It appears that your path is \\192.168.1.56\test. The path for my uploads
is something like c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication\uploads.
