Hello
When I try to delete file from folder I get System.UnauthorizedAccessException. The error is suggesting I use impersonate. Can I get around without using impersonate??

My ASP.Net account is set to Full control but I still get the same error:

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\x\Pix\" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

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 appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.


What can be wrong?

open the folder property page,click the security tab
highlight the "Users" Account and checked the full control

Hey,

Try setting the full control at the \x level, and make sure it cascades down. What are you trying to do with the account? Are you accessing a folder outside the wwwroot level?

bmains,
I made both ASP.NET Account and IUSER account Full control for specific folder and root folder but I still get access denied. What can be the problem???
Thanks.

Since your NOT using impersonation, I expect that the user that needs access to the folder is the user that is logged into the system

Hal Levy,
I am the admin and Admin has "Full Control" for the root folder and pix folder.
ASP.NET & IUSER account also has "Full Control". What can be the problem?

My application successfuly uploads photos to the pix folder with default setting but when I try to delete specific photos from pix folder I get this System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\x\Pix\" is denied error.

Please someone help me. It's been 7 days and I can't figure it out.

Have you checked the IIS properties page "Write" checkbox? Not only do you need to have write permissions on the user(s) that are running the application, but the website or virtual directory must allow it.

Also check the rights on the file itself... you could find that the rights didn't trickle down to the file properly.

Are you using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6? If so, the account that ASP.NET uses is the Network Service account and not the ASPNET account.
Cheers,

I am using Windows 2000 server. I tried all of the above. What can be overlooked?
