File Access

Hi Gang,

In my asp.net 3.5 website hosted on a shared web server, I need to serve
files from a virtual folder within the root folder on the host machine for
downloading. When I test the download functionality over the web, I keep
getting an Access Denied error. I am using Forms authentication. I'm not
sure if I can or want to implement impersonation.

I have come across places that show you how to implement downloading
functionality and they never even mention file access issues so I have to
suspect that I might have some setting goofed up.

Please help. I started googling this early yesterday thinking it would be
easy one but now I'm frazzled. Thanks.

I was copying my website to the server from a directory in My Documents and
the permissions settings for the 'Download' folder were copied as well. I
ended up making a folder on my C drive and copying it to the server and it
worked. You can also create a folder in code on the server and it will work.

I have written the following code to search for the right file depending on the startup file for "Client Access".

I read that you should not use the DIR function but that's that only way I...

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());

Hi, I am re-writing part of my application using C#. This application starts another process which execute a "legacy" program. This legacy program writes to a log file and before it ends, it writes a specific string to the log file. My original program (MKS Toolkit shell program) which keeps running "grep" checking the "exit string" on the "log files". There are no file sharing problem.

Overview: 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,...
