Inheriting Permissions


I give permissions for ASPNET on a top level subdirectory.

A windows program copies a file into the subdirectory, however, my web
service cannot access the file because it does not have permissions.

Shouldn't the file automatically inherit permissions by being dropped
into that top level subdirectory?

In short, no. File will either preserve it's permissions or change the owner permissions to whoever
dropped it there. Folder's permissions in no way affect file's ones.

Ignore my previous post.
Here's the rules:

# When a file or a folder is created, it inherits permissions from the parent folder.
# When a file or a folder is copied to another folder on the same or a different partition, it
inherits the NTFS permissions of the destination folder.
# When a file or a folder is moved to another folder on the same partition, its NTFS permissions are
maintained ASIS.
# When a file or a folder is moved to another folder on a different partition, it inherits the NTFS
permissions of the destination folder.
# When a file or a folder is copied or moved to a FAT partition, all permissions are lost since FAT
partitions do not support permissions.
# When a file or a folder is copied from a FAT partition, it inherits permissions from the
destination folder.

Hope it helps,

So you rproblem might be related not to file/folder permissions, but to IIS settings for that
application folder.

Check the file permissions by right clicking on file in Expolorer and choosing Properties->Security

Does a web service run under ASPNET or IUSR_ ?

If i'm not mistaken, unless you enable anonymous access in IIS, it runs as ASPNET.
When anonymous is enabled, it runs as whatever you put as anonymous.

Check the settings for your web application in IIS Manager - you need to look in the "Directory
Security" tab in web site properties.

It looks like IUSR_ is was the key.

Once I granted IUSR permissions at the top level, the web service could
then unzip the file.

Hi, basic question here - I'm struggling with the transfer from asp to asp.net a bit, especially in seeing the 'bigger picture' of how things are best structured. I have a website made up primarily of aspx pages. I have separated out the common <head> as an .ascx file and intend to do the same for other common regions of html. In the aspx.vb I have code that is common to all pages. For example a sub which is passed a parameter to tell...

I want something which is very like a bitset<64> but with a couple of extra functions: set/get the two 32 bit words, and conversion to unsigned long long. I can do this easily by inheriting from bitset<64>, but I know that STL has no virtual destructor. Can I get around this by calling the baseclass destructor explicitly in my derived class? Is there another way to get all of the bitset<64> functionality without rewriting a lot of...
