I've written a asp.net program that I need to create and write to a text file on the server. When I try using System.IO.StreamWriter I get the error, Unknown user name or bad password. Does anyone have any idea how I can access and write to a file on the server?

Thanks,

Renee C. Walker

What folder are you writing to and who (what account) has permissions to write to it?

Does the ASPNET account have access to that server folder? It would be in the form of MACHINENAME\ASPNET, so your machine must have access...

I'm not sure how to do that.

Right click the folder and go to properties. You should see a 'Security' tab. If you don't try this:

Open 'My Computer'. Click 'Tools' and then 'Folder Options'. Then click on the 'View' Tab and scroll all the way to the bottom. Uncheck 'Use Simple File Sharing(Recommended)' and click 'Ok' or 'Yes' to the warning.

Once that has been done you should be able to go the the folder where your file will be created and right click on the folder and give <machine name>\aspnet account write access to the folder.

You must be using NTFS and NOT FAT16 or FAT32.

Okay, thanks.
