File UpLoad - C#.NET - Error: Access to the path xxx is denied

[sforsasi]

Hi,

I'm trying a simple code to upload a file to the server. When I click to Upload I get the following error message:

Error: Access to the path xxx is denied

The folder in which I'm trying to upload the file has all access. I've included

NETWORK SERVICE - with full control and
ASPNET - with full control to the folder.

But still getting the same error.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Here goes my code:

if( ( File1.PostedFile != null ) && ( File1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0 ) )
            {
                string fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(File1.PostedFile.FileName);
                string SaveLocation = Server.MapPath("Data") + "\\" +  fn;
                //string SaveLocation = "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot" + "\\" + fn;
                try
                {
                    File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(SaveLocation);
                    Response.Write("The file has been uploaded.");
                }
                catch ( Exception ex )
                {
                    Response.Write
"Error: " + ex.Message);
                            }
            }
            else
            {
                Response.Write("Please select a file to upload.");
            }

Thanks,
Sasikumar.

sure... my apologies.. i'm very curious of my issue that i read the guidelines after posting the thread...

It might be that your webserver has additional permissions on that folder. If its not the webserver then it is the operating system file permissions that are stopping you. Are you sure that both the webserver and the operating system permissions are set properly?

how we check webserver/OS permissions?

For OS permissions you can right click on the folder and go to properties I think. As for webserver, you will have to read the documentation because I don't use IIS.

I've checked for the folder permission both at the OS level and at the webserver level. Both has write access. But still the issue exists.

Any suggestions????
