no write permissions

[Jimmy]

Hi

I trying to create a new directory "newdir" but i get the error:

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MakeLab4\newdir" is denied.

I think i have to grant the necessary permissions. Where can i do that
because in the explorer i can't find the security tab.

From security point of view, it is not a good idea to create directories on
fly in web applications. Even if you manage to in development environment,
production server security will be stricter. I couldn't get it work even in
development. Try to re-organize your data to use static directories.

Hi Jim,

It sounds like you're using Windows XP, not Server 2003. Windows XP by
default hides the Security settings for folders. You have to go into the
Folder Options applet in Control Panel, go to the View tab, and uncheck
"Simple File Sharing" to be able to see and manage file system security.
