Hi,

I try to use ASP.Net 2.0 FileUpload control to upload files. The page is
working fine when I upload files and save them into my local computer, but
fails when the files are to be saved to a network drive.

I believe this is permission issue, the account on my local computer does
not have permissions to write to network drive. Can someone tell me how
resolve this problem? I already went to IIS and impersonate anonymous access
with a domain account, no lucks.

TIA

You put the user-account on a Network share, and if appropriate, on the
directory itself and give the appropriate permissions for the account.

You mat have to give the permissions to the ASP.Net worker process
machine/ASPNET account, that's the local machine account for the machine if
using .Net Framework 1.1.

Or you might have to use the Network account NT Authority/System if using
.Net Framework 2.0.

I myself like to use Authenticated User Group removing all other accounts
off of a network share or directory.
