Error 403 - Forbidden

[Guest]

Im trying to send a file (.zip) to a iis server, but i always get an error.
I searched everywhere but didnt find any help.
Maybe u guys and gals could help me.
I will be trully apreciated.

Here it is the code:


public void UploadFileBinary(string localFile, string uploadUrl)
{
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uploadUrl);

req.Method = "PUT";
req.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;

// Retrieve request stream
Stream reqStream = req.GetRequestStream();
StreamWriter wrtr = new StreamWriter(reqStream);

// Open the local file
FileStream rdr = new FileStream(localFile, FileMode.Open);

// Allocate byte buffer to hold file contents
byte[] inData = new byte[4096];

// loop through the local file reading each data block
// and writing to the request stream buffer
int bytesRead = rdr.Read(inData, 0, inData.Length);
while (bytesRead > 0)
{
reqStream.Write(inData, 0, bytesRead);
bytesRead = rdr.Read(inData, 0, inData.Length);
}

rdr.Close();
wrtr.Close();
reqStream.Close();

req.GetResponse();
}

Sorry for the stupid obvious question, but is the folder you are writing
to write to actually writable by the Windows user that your web site is
running as?

Also, is Write allowed on the Virtual directory?

Its working!
i know its stupid, but i have to give administrator role to the user on the iis, or else it wont work.
but then...where is the security of that?
if i want to access thru gprs wont it be a risk?

thx guys!

That's a gigantic security hole! You simply need to give the IIS user
(IWAM_USER blah, blah or something like that) write permission for the
target directory.
