File Permissions - Writing to File from Code

Use Server.Mappath while creating a file in your working directory.


Sample Code.
-------------



<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" %>


<%@ Import Namespace = "System.IO" %>


<script language="vb" runat="Server">


Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)


Dim myFileStream As StreamWriter = Nothing


Try


myFileStream = File.CreateText(Server.MapPath(".") &amp; "/test.txt")


myFileStream.WriteLine("HELLO")


myFileStream.Close()


Response.Write("File Successfully Created!")


Catch exc As Exception


Response.Write("Error in Creating file. Error is " &amp; exc.ToString())


Finally


If Not myFileStream Is Nothing Then


myFileStream.Close()


End If





Hope this Helps!


End Try





End Sub


</script>

Hi Guys.


I'm trying to use the following code to write to a file in a
sub-directory on my site. But I keep getting permission denied errors.


I've added <identity impersonate="true"/> to the web.config file.
All this does is ask me for a username and password,
I've tried using the username and passsword I use to
access my site via ftp but am not sure what format to
use for the username ... or even if I need to create a
new user?


Does someone need to set file permissions explicitly for me?


Code below:
-----------------------------------------------------
Dim FileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo
Dim Tex As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim str As String
FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo("Test.txt")
Tex = FileInfo.CreateText()
str = "Test"
Tex.WriteLine(str)
Tex.Write(Tex.NewLine)
Tex.Close()
Response.Write("Text file created.")
-----------------------------------------------------



Please help.


Many Thanks,
Richard
