When you write to a file, you need to give to the user ASPNET for the
local machine write permissions to the folder in which you write.
Because IIS runs as a service, it is not running under the logged on
user, but it has its own username.

Use the Windows Security dialog to set the correct permissions.

Hello,

First, check whether you had "Simple File Sharing" Enabled, if so first
disable that. (Default is Enabled)

To Disable you to open an explorer window and go to Tools -Options -View
and then scroll down to the last setting. If that is checked uncheck

And secondly it will be good if you have NTFS File System. Then you need to
give permission to Everyone or give Permission to IUSR_XXXX.

Hope this helps....

Thanks
