Permission denied creating directory

Hi,

I have a created a simple file upload asp.net web page which also creates directories on the fly using the following code:

string fullpath = Server.MapPath(".\\..\\..\\" + path);
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(fullpath);
if(!dir.Exists)
dir.Create();

Now the dir.Create() statement gives me a permission denied. The ASP.NET user has been giving full control to the directory and in IIS Admin the directory has write permissions for scripts set. There is no problem in uploading the file to an already created directory which I find extremely weird!

What goes wrong ?

My OS is Windows XP using .NET framework 1.1. All the latest security patches are installed.Hi Christoffer:

One way to trouble shoot these types of problems is to enable auditing
and find out "who" is getting the access denied message.

See:

and

Also, make sure the permissions apply to subfolders - click "Advanced"
and check the "Apply To" column.

HTH,

Thanks for these links.

I have found what the problem was. The ASPNET user I added was from another domain. Now I have added the local ASPNET user and it works.

The audit thing really helped. Thank you very much!
