vb.net webclient upload file and IIS configuration on XP

Not sure where to post this but simply I want to upload a file using the
WebClient, ie:

Try
Dim wc As New WebClient
wc.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("someuser",
"somepass")
wc.UploadFile("http://localhost/public/", "PUT", "c:\test.txt")
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
Console.ReadKey()
End Try

It always returns : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

I have permissions set on public for read/write, I have web shared the
folder. Im guessing its how I have IIS setup. Using XP Pro sp3 and IIS.

permissions on the folder.
