Hi,
I have a project uploading a file. When user upload a file, the file is stored in ~\preupload folder in my project. When user enter other infos and press the "update" button, I try to move the file to shared folder on another machine.

Code like this:

string sourcepath = Session["SourcePath"].ToString(); //full file path in this.
string targetpath = "\\otherserver\sharedFolder\" + filename;

File.Move(sourcepath,targetpath);

And I'm getting "access denied" error.

I give a domain user to application pool identity. Target Folder has a "everyone read/write" permission.
And if I give a folder on the ISS server as a targetpath, file moved correctly. But I cant move it to another server machine.

Anyone help pls?

Many thanks.

Check your paths. At least your targetpath string would not be a valid path, as given in your example.

Check permission on the share and not on the target...

Thank you for quick response.
I checked the source folder permission. Error details say that target path has a "access denied".

Am I do anything special for accessing path of another server? I can write my file to a path in the same server. (like: \\myserver\uploadedfiles) but i cant write it to another server (like: \\otherserver\uploadedfiles).
Boths have "everyone r/w".

Thanks.

Check the destination path folder permission, It should be globally shared for every one.

Hi again,

I use "system.io.file.move()" method to copy file.

If destination folder is in the same server, no error. But if dest.folder is in another server, i'm getting error:

Quote:
Access to the path is denied.-- Source:mscorlib at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

For example: My asp application run on MYSERVER
If dest. folder is "\\MYSERVER\uploadedfiles\", everthing ok.
But if dest. folder is "\\OTHERSERVER\uploadedfiles\", access denied.

"\\OTHERSERVER\uploadedfiles\" has everyone read/write permission. Why I am getting access denied error?

Thanks for your reply.
