What is the path you are trying to access? If the path is outside of the directory of which IIS operates, obviously it won't have permissions to edit, add remove or execute anything. Nor should it! You can add custom folders to IIS providing permissions to those directories by elevating the IIS user level for that directory.

Solution 1

You may be the administrator, but your IIS_ASP process most probably isn't (and shouldn't ever be).

Check which account your IIS runs under and give to that user read / write rights to the folder.

If this helps, please take time and accept the solution. Thank you.

Come on! Do some research! Look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4269431/asp-net-which-user-account-running-web-service-on-iis-7

You can find others for your particular IIS. It is irrelevant if you're running localhost or remote IIS, the logic is the same.

Solution 2

Give Acess permission to the Folder ,means give permission to the IIS User to read & write option.

Solution 3

If your application is Desktop App than run your application as Run as Administrator and It should work.
