Permission denied creating directory

Hi,
I have a created a simple file upload asp.net web page which also creates di
rectories 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 use
r has been giving full control to the directory and in IIS Admin the directo
ry has write permissions for scripts set. There is no problem in uploading t
he file to an already creat
ed directory which I find extremely weird!
What goes wrong ?
My OS is Windows XP using .NET framework 1.1. All the latest security patche
s are installed.Hi,
Does the "System" account have access?
Cheers,

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!
