It's not the worker process which needs write permissions.
It's the account the worker process is running as which needs
write permissions.
Run this short file I wrote :
identity.aspx
-----------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
-------------
That will return the account the aspnet worker process is running under.
Then, give whatever write permissions you need to give to that account.

Hi
I am trying to get an online gallery (www.ngallery.org - open source) to upload image to
a folder. At the moment I am using localhost but plan to move to some web space when I
get it all working.
I need to update my 'images' folder permissions so the ASP.NET worker process has write
permissions.
However, when I go to the folder permissions, there is not worker process entry. I have
IIS on my machine and I am running Windows XP Pro.
How can I get the worker process to show up in the security tab?
Would it help if I tried working with some web space rather than on a desktop?
Regards, Carl Gilbert
