Accessing file denied - Urgent!!!

[David Li]

Hi all,

I was trying to read/write to a file under the ASP.NET web application's
root directory. After some configurations, e.g. Enabling 'Impersonate',
Assigning correct pemissions to ASPNET accounts for this file, the program
ran very well. However when I put it on another server, it appears the
system is trying to locate the file under "C:\Winnt\System32" and I got
"Unauthorized Exception". This file IS under the web application root
directory, and I tried to put "~/" or "./" before the file name, it didn't
work either! Any ideas? Thank you in advance!!!

It will be usefull know how you write this file, however to know the
phisical location of your application you must use server.mappath function.

Hi Cirrosi,

Just very simple File.IO, TextReader/TextWriter stuffs (trying a quick&dirty
way for one of my coworker). And I am trying to do something with
Server.MapPath now...

Hi David:

Use Server.MapPath to generate the correct physical location of the
file.
