File Uploads Problems (Groan)

Hello,

I am using some file upload code that works fine on my development machine and another server, but gives me the error shown below. I have checked the directory permissions and even given the anonymous user WRITE access, but still get the error. I amauthenticating to this directory via the web, as another user whoalso has write access to this directory. What is going on? How could permission be denied when anybody can write to this folder???

Thanks,
Huckster


Note: I have removed my real directory namefor obvious (*cough* security) reasons below.

ERROR:
Access to the path 'E:\web\[my site]\htdocs\v2\uploads\e14684f112e34b6298067b8ff97bdf09.xls' is denied.

CODE:
string strFileToWrite =Server.MapPath("") + @"\" + System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-","") + ".xls";
this.UploadedExcelFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(strFileToWrite);

Bruce,

You are correct sir -- I tried a different (non-Front page) directory and it worked fine. You have no idea how much I hate front page extensions ... why can't we all just install our projects by copy-and-paste to a virtual web directory -- I have used this approach before with VS projects and it works a lot better than Front page extensions.


Thanks for the help,
Huckster
