hi there,
I try to download a file from a website. I do have access from browser and I don't get error by reading I think. The error is that the TO folder is "access denied."
I JUST WANT TO COPY THE FILE from REMOTE website TO our LOCAL Folder...
This is Windows Service project... NOT Winforms or NOT ASPWEB project..
string from = "http://thewebsite.com/files/a_lux/WS_Import_Result_2.xml";
//string to = \\192.144.3.200\w$\webs\ABC\DownloadXML\Results<--- original folder
sting to = "c:\\temp;
System.Net.WebClient webclient = new System.Net.WebClient();
webclient.DownloadFile(new Uri(from).AbsoluteUri, to);
I get this error:
{"Access to the path 'c:\\temp' is denied."}
I gave Networkservice, aspn.net, everyone -> full permission in folder/properties/security to this folder... I still get this error....
since this is a Windows Service project (Batch running) My app.config is empty.... just the connectionstring is in here.
What could be the problem?
thanks
mesut
