Access denied to path -- asp.net

Is D:\ a mapped network drive? If so, the access attempt will be made by
domain\machinename$ - NOT the local ASPNET account. Search around for
information about ASP.NET and impersonation across network boundaries.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to asp.net and would really appreciate some help. Not too sure where
this post should be so sorry if it's in the wrong place.

i'm trying to upload files to a server with the following method:
myFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("upload") & strFileNameOnly)

I've changed the permissions to allow aspnet to r/w/mod the folder but it
keeps on throwing the message:
Access to path 'D:\...\upload' is denied.

I've looked through some of the other posts with similar problems with no
luck. Tearing my hair out at this stage.

If any more information is need please let me know.

Thanks,

cheers for the quick reply,

i'm just running asp.net on my own computer at the moment, so as far as I
know its not a mapped network drive simply a hd on my machine (is this right?
as I said I'm new to this).

i've tried <identity impersonate="false" /> and <identity impersonate="true"
/> in the web.config file, and I don't have any user accounts on the site.

have I missed your point or am I doing something else wrong?

thanks again...

Ok, if it is a local HD, its not the problem I mentioned previously.

I think you also need to give ASPNET access to the root of the drive
(not just the subfolder). So trying giving at least Read access to D:\.

This article should tell you all of the rights that ASPNET requires:

Hope that helps.
