I'm running Dotnet on Windows 2003 and was wondering, can scripts write to
files/folders outside of the webroot, for instance, in another drive?
How about writing to a network share via UNC? Is that possible? If so can
someone point me to documents that talk about this, or perhaps show me how
this can be done? Thanks!

Do you mean a web app user (who accesses the website through your ASP.NET
app) can or cannot write file to somewhere on the web server? Sure he can,
only if he is given the permission to do so. So, you need to decide who the
user would be, from the web server's point of view. If you let everyone who
uses your ASP.NET app become the Administrator on the web server, he can do
anything, including destorying the server, not to mention writing a file. By
default, a web app user is ALWAYS given minimun permission on the web
server, just enough to use the web applications.
You can learn more on ASP.NET security from .NET framework document.

All you have to do is to give permission for the ASPNET user to write on
that directory.

I have two webservers. I can run php code fine on one but not the
other. Both webservers can read files only one can write. I have looked
around at other posts and they point at not giving permissions to the
apache user.

I am creating a series of downloadable articles, career
tools, spreadsheets, etc. However, some of the content is
for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a

I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply

I am not creating an actual system user name for the
folders where the various documents exist.

Hi,
Although I have placed my "wec.dll" in the correct folder
("wwwroot\wec\bin"), and have configured this "wec" folder in IIS as an
application, when an aspx page is hit, I get a "could not load type wec"
error. This error disappears if I cut-and-paste this wwwroot\wec\bin
directory into the wwwroot folder.
Thus the problem is that IIS is ignoring the fact that the sub-folder has
been configured as an application, and is refusing...

Hi All
We have an ASP application which links to various word and excel documents
stored in a folder called attachments.
The documents are extermely confidential in nature and we would like
restrict the access to them through the application only.
How can we prevent users from guessing the name of the document and reach it
by tying http://myserver/attachments/thisdocument.doc

Hi,
I have a file outside of the web root and this file contains db
username/passwds, and other config stuff. I include this file as needed in
the scripts. Is this a secure way of doing this? Would the contents of
this file ever be visible to web users under normal or abnormal conditions?
Thanks, Mike

I let users upload photos (.jpg/.gif files) which can subsequently be viewed

When writing the files I understand how to use MapPath to...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
