hi all!

I am trying to create a new file and write into it froman aspx page.
But, I am getting the follwing error message.
_____________________________________________________________________
Access to the path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\pract\cit.xml" is denied. 
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the 
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information 
about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the 
path "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\pract\cit.xml" is denied. 

The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. 
For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is '{machinename}
\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting access rights to 
the resource to the ASP.NET process identity. 

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, 
choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add 
the "{machinename}\ASPNET" user. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check 
the Write box in the Allow column.
________________________________________________________________________

I know how to handle this error if the file already exists in the 
directory. But, in my case, no file exists at first. I am trying to create 
a new file. Hence, I cannot add "Machinename\ASPNET" as a user unless I 
have the file with me !!!

I am perplexed. Kindly help.

thanx
Deepa.

give full access to that directory for the user "Machinename\ASPNET"

Hi G,

Make a special subdirectory where you will write the
file and set the correct security rights on this
directory (like you'd do on the file). You'll be able
to create new files in this directory.

regards,
Gert.
