Asp.net file upload error access to the path is denied

In this topic we are going to see asp.net file upload error access to the path is denied.

You might receive errors when your end users upload files to your web server through the FileUpload control in your application. Errors may occur because the destination folder on the server is not writable for the account used by ASP.NET. If ASP.NET is not enabled to write to the folder you want, you can enable it using the folder’s properties.

Giving asp.net proper permissions to upload files:-

First, right-click on the folder where the ASP.NET files should be uploaded and select Properties from the provided menu. The Properties dialog box for the selected folder opens. Click the Security tab to make sure the IIS_IUSRS account is included in the list and has the proper permissions to write to disk. If it is enabled, you see something similar to what is presented in Figure.

If you do not see the IIS_IUSRS account in the list of users allowed to access the folder, add it by clicking the Add button and entering IIS_IUSRS in the text area provided

Click OK, and you can then click the appropriate check boxes to provide the permissions needed for your application.
