Help required, problems while reading in a file??( REPOST)

[Erland]

Hi all,

I have made an ASP.NET 1.1 application on windows 2000 advanced server.

In the application, i have saved the file using the following code


string str;
str="this is my data";
FileStream fs=new FileStream("mytxt.txt",FileMode.open);
StreamWriter sr=new StreamWriter (fs);
sr.Write(str);


Now i can write the file and even read it on my system. It saves the
file in my C:\WINNT\System32. Now my C Drive is FAT32. Please note that

name of my application is "MyWebProject".


Now i copy my project folder i.e. "MyWebProject" from wwwrooot and take

to other system and saves the file in other system that is running Win
XP which has IIS installed. I have made a virtual directory that maps
to the file i just copied from Win 2000. Please also note that C Drive
of Win XP is NTFS.
Now when i try to run my application on Win XP, it throws an error
which is as following
---------------------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------------

Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\system32\mytxt.txt" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------­-----------------------------------------



Now please let me know what i am doing wrong here, if i have to set
some seucrity permissions within my XP machine then please let me know
how should i go about it?
OR if there is some other error then please let me know what it is....
I appreciate your time and thanks in advance.

Do you really want your web application to write to the system32 directory??
Is this an anonymous web site? If so, you'll need to give the IUSR_ account
(or ASPNET) account WRITE access to the system32 directory!

Completely bad ju-ju in there, Boss. Don't do it. No. What problem are you
trying to solve by doing this?
