System.UnauthorizedAccessException

[davearia]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to upload an image from my local machine to my remote server. Here is the most relavent code:

If (filePictureDialog.PostedFile.FileName.Length > 0) Then
           imageString = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePictureDialog.PostedFile.FileName)
           Try
               filePictureDialog.PostedFile.SaveAs(imageString)
               imgPigJaw.ImageUrl = imageString
           Catch ex As Exception
               txtAdditionalInformation.Text += ex.ToString
           End Try
End If

When I run this I get this message:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "E:\WINDOWS\system32\jigsaw2" is denied.

 

I am lost as to what to do with this. I assume that I can alter my settings to give permissions on my machine that will allow the file to be uploaded. I need to get these images from anyone's machine who is using this ASP.NET page regardless of settings. I wouldn't say my security settings are that high and there is no firewall etc.

 

How do I get round this problem please?

 

Thanks, Dave. :D :D :D

Sorry,

 

I was running this locally on my machine (stupid I know).

 

When I run it on the server I get this message:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\MasterPigJawSuzzle\WebJigsawVault\The_logo.gif".

 

My root directory htdocs has a folder bin which contains the dll of my ASP.NET program. In htdocs there is also a folder called MasterPigJawSuzzle in that is a folder called WebJigsawVault which is where I want to store the image into.

 

I hope this helps you in order to help me.

 

Thank, Dave.

Does the ASPNET account have access to the folder you are trying to save the images to?
