Unable to upload image file to web server

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

When I trying to upload an image file to webserver using ASP.NET it through an exception "Access denied". I've used the following code to upload image file:

C#

ImageUploader.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(imagePath) + imageName);

But, When I try to upload an image file by classic asp in same server it works.

When I set <identity impersonate="true"> in web.config file image uploading works in asp.net. But in that case crystal report is not working.

So, my question is there any permission or security related issue in web-server or there is problem in my code.

Try by providing Full-Rights permissions to "IIS_IUSRS" and "Network Services" Accounts to your Folder in which you are uploading Files.

thanks for your reply. Do you have any idea in Classic ASP how it works?

Solution 2

yes give full rights to Network Services user as RaisKazi told.
in Impersonation use UserId and Password. Impersonation suggest on whos behalf you are running web application

HTML

<identity impersonate="true" username="Administrator" password="PWD" />
