give the ASP.NET process permission to write to the server's hard drive
The project I am working on: Make a backup copy of a file using the FileStream class.
I want to give the ASP.NET process permission to write to the server's hard drive.
I need to follow these steps to accomplish this
-->On my Web Server Computer
-->Launch Windows Explorer
-->Locate the folder that contains my Web Site
(under wwwroot folder Am I right?)
-->Right-Click on Folder
-->Select Properties
-->Click On Security tab
-->Click the Add Button
-->Select the ASPNET user from the local computer.
-->Click ADD and then OK.
QUESTION: When I Right-Click on Folder and select Properties.
I see the following tabs.
-->General
-->Sharing
-->Web Sharing
-->Custamize
Please could someone tell me why I am not being able to see the Security tab.
How can I give the ASP.NET process permission to write to the server's hard drive?
Is there any alternative way where I can make this change?
Please could someone give me exact steps as to what can be done. I need to submit my project in two days. I would be greatful if someone could help me with a solution soon.
Thank you
