I saw a recent note here that user file uploads should be directed to a
subfolder of App_Data to avoid site recompilation each time a file is
uploaded. That worked fine on my development machine, but when I deployed to
a test site at my web host, it fails:
Access to the path '...\App_Data\P DFFiles\Filenam e.pdf' is denied.
How do I set permissions to allow writing a file into that folder? Is this
something I do in my page or site configuration, or do I need to contact the
web hosting company?

This is usually done through the web host or their control panel. IIS is
giving the error because the directory permissions set don't enable the
ASP.Net (or sometimes another account such as Network Services depending
upon the windows server version) user account to write to the directory. So
yes, you'll need to start with the host. There may be an automated way to do
this in the control panel so check there first.
Hope this helps,

Thank you Mark. Folder permissions were not accessible in the web host's
control panel. I sent an email request and they added the permissions for
the web account. It's working now.

I need some advice re permissions etc. Here's the situation: at my workplace, I have a website which sits in a folder created by the IT manager, and given certain permissions (I'm not even yet sure how to determine what the permissions are). Whenever I'm at my workplace I just copy and paste files from my local machine to the web folder and it's on the web. Easy!
But at home, I have dialup access and needed to upload files to the same folder....

Using ASP.net 1.1 and Microsoft Access.
I received the following error message. Why? I have closed the Access
file. I have another very small access file that opens with no trouble with
the same code, except a different name for the file.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Accident.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by
another user, or you need permission to view its data.

There is an upload function on the site, which uploads files via POST to

uploaded file is created with 600 permissions so...

I have an odd permissions issue with uploading files to a windows 2003
server.
I have a reasonably unusual setup. We have a php website, running through
IIS that was written to use mod_rewrite. Obviously, this doesn't exist in
IIS, so as a workaround, I have the .net isapi dll as a wildcard handler for
the site, with the rewriting done by .net, which then passes the processng
back to the php pages. So far so good.

Hello,
I'm writing a site where a handful of people will be able to edit
the content using PHP scripts (FCKeditor). The content is stored as
individual files in a directory. I'd like to validate the "editors"
using PHP, cookies, etc.
The question is what file permissions I need to allow for the
content to be writable by my PHP script. Do I really need to give
write permissions to the "other" group. Are all wikis really that
vulnerable?...

I thought I had this licked, but apparently not.
I have a file upload script that attempts to upload a file to a
directory in the public_html directory - www.domain.com/upload
The permissions for the directory have to be 777 for this to work or
esle it aborts with a permissions error - obviously a problem. The php
script runs as user 'nobody'.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
