folder permission for uploading files in asp.net

Question

Hello - I am desperate with this issue, I set all the permissions correctly (I think), but I still can't upload file on the server. I am receiving error that access is denied when I am trying to upload the file. I set the permissions to be able to write for Internet guest, network service and asp.net in both physical folder and in the iis. What am i missing? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

File uploads are processed by the ASP.NET machine account. You should just need to give the ASP.NET machine account R/W permissions on the folder on the file system and in IIS. What is the exact error message you are getting?

Answer 2

Just create an AppPool for your site and run it as a user that has permission to R/W to the desired directories.
