fileDownload Issue

[Anil S]

Hello

I have written functionality using C# and asp.net to download file from asp.net page. I am doing this development on Window server 2008 and I am able to download the file. When I publish the application and configure it with IP address and hit download button to download the file, it produces following error (download functionality works fine when I use localhost address):

Access to the path 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\windybaypower\Download\MWISOReport.csv' is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\windybaypower\Download\MWISOReport.csv' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.




Any Ideas how to fix this
