File folder access exception

David C

I am getting the following error trying to create a folder on the file
system using an intranet internal application.

Exception: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion

Message: Access to the path '\\lifedevsql\s hared\FileDocs\ File093969' is
denied.

When I Googled the exception I found a reference to impersonating a user in
the web.config file. Is there any other way to allow create/modify/delete
of file folders on a separate domain server? I have the folders referenced
as a virtual directory on the web site and have read and write permissions
in IIS. I also have full control permissions for an AD group which will be
using this application? Thanks.

You must know which user account is used to run your ASP.ENT application,
which runs on a web server. by default, it is the web server's local ASPNET
or Network Service account, which naturally does not have permission to the
resources on the other computer, and enve have very limited access to the
resources on local computer.

As ASP.NET developer, you need to be very clear what resources your
application needs and configure the running user account accordingly. See
more coment inline. MOst likely, if the ASP.NET app has to access resources
on the other computers, you need to impersonate the ASP.NET app to use a
domain user account.

Which user account (domain or local) has the read/write permission? The
permission is given to certain user account.

You having full permission does not mean so does other user account.

using this application? Thanks.

a user using your web application does not necessarily mean the web
application is run under his/her credential. It is depends on how the
ASP.NET application configured.

copying to a different computer using File.Copy()

by: Ram Baruch | last post by:

Hi, I'm trying to use the File.Copy() function. It works well when the desenation file is local (Like: C:\dest\dest.exe).

Even if the first and the second directories are actually the same- the File.Copy() doesn't work. Is there any way to copy a file to a different computer?...

File.Exists

by: sur | last post by:

Hello, My problem is that File.Exists works fine if my file is on my local drive but returns false if its on any other drive. I think that the issue is probably file permissions and so I have tried the following: FileIOPermision permFileIO = new FileIOPermission(FileIOPermissionAccess.Read, filepath.Value.ToString());
