File access using ASP.NET

[Harry]

Hi,

I've got an ASP application running and want to have it write to a text
file. I am running VS.NET on WinXP. I was able to set the file permissions
to allow ASPNET access under Win2000 but when I changed my dev OS to XP, the
security option is not the same.

Can any one tell me how to grant ASPNET or IUSER_MACHINE access to write to
a file?

Thanks
Harry

To add the user(s) that you want you need to first:

Go to windows explorer .. Tools->Folder Options->View-> and then disable
"Simple File Sharing" at the bottom of the list.

You'll then be able to set permissions explicitly for whatever by right
clicking on a folder and selecting "Security". That should be similar to
2000's user interface, except when you click "Add User" you should also use
the "Advanced" view and then "Find Now" will bring up all the users on your
machine.

Later,
Fred
