Hi all,
I've got a sub directory under my main app directory. I'm trying to use it
to upload files using PostedFile.SaveAs. The only way I could get it to work
was to add Everyone and set it to Full Control. Is this the only way to
handle this? Seems like it's not a good idea to have everyone with Full
Control.

Thanks
 
Have you tried adding the ASPNet user account and/or the IUSR account with
read/write/delete access?

Hope this helps,

Yes, I tried that. That is what had me cofused. Adding read/write/modify to
the ASPNET account along with the IUSR_machinename account for this
directory still would not let me upload to it. It appears that only having
Everyone with at least read/write/modify will let me upload to it.
