It seems that the ability to do this in anyway was stopped many, many versions of IE ago.
However, I need to do it SOMEHOW.
I want to be able to select a radiobuttonlist option, click a button and the correct folder opens in explorer
I am maintaining an ASP website and the users want to be able to click on a link that open up a folder where they could select which file they want from within that folder.
I tried to making a link with the tag <a href=[folderpath]>Text</a> but I can a 403 HTTP error saying that the website requires a login for this action. Is there some way that I could send the person's credentials along with the request so the folder can be opened?
My ASP.NET MVC 2 application runs under built-in local NETWORK SERVICE account. I want to set up access permissions for the folder which resides in another computer, but in the same domain. I located that folder right-clicked to open its properties form, clicked to Security tab and pressed Add button which displayed Add user form with correct domain name in the location field. I referred to the account with following syntax:
<domain name><server name>$
because I learned that NETWORK SERVICE account uses machine account when connected to other computers in the domain. However, the system couldn't find the account, so refuses to add the account. Without the domain name it adds a user, but that user seems to be local user, not web server's NETWORK SERVICE account. What am I doing wrong?
By the way, the above syntax worked when I created login for the sql server which is different computer from the web server.
I'm not able to open the file when I click on the link on page in MVC. I get the following message. I've added the impersonation in the code. I'm able to delete and save the file.
Access to the path '\servernamefolder1folder2folder3foder4filename.pdf' is denied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Developing a web application in C# which stores files in a tree structure in a server.
A project ( eg: ABC) has many sub folders (eg: ABC_sub1,ABC_Sub2...etc) . Each sub folder will have many types of files. (Eg: .dat,.txt .... etc)
I have stored the project name and the path to the parent folder ( in this case ABC) in a database.
Eg: \sereverNameTestMyProjectABC
What I need to do is when a user selects a given project ( eg; ABC) & clicks the link button component called "browse" to open the folder (\sereverNameTestMyProjectABC) in a new window.
This is the code I thought would work.
protected void LinkButtonFolderBorwse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string myPath = @HiddenFieldFolderLocation.Value;
System.Diagnostics.Process prc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
prc.StartInfo.FileName = myPath;
prc.Start();
}
HiddenFieldFolderLocation.Value gets the path of the parent folder (\sereverNameTestMyProjectABC).
When I click the link button nothing happens.
I have a web application that uses Windows Authentication, not forms, and has identity impersonate = true.
From an .aspx page, the following code can create a folder on a network share successfully but fails in my .asmx page.
dirPolicyFolder.CreateDirectory(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("PolicyApplicationsPath") & strFolderName
I have confirmed that the same user is logged in both examples, permissions on the parent folder are set correctly, and the logged user has propper right to do this.
If I change the path to a local one, the asmx page can create the folder.Why would this fail when running in the .asmx page?
I wrote a web service sometime back, and uploaded to one of our network Server's IIS. The webservice needs to access a network folder, which was working perfectly fine till a month ago. Now, when we use the webservice in our .Net application, it fails with the exception message "Access to the path '\<networkMachine ><Folder >' was denied" (may be some group policies changed). But when I run the webservice from my local machine's Visual Studio debugger, it can access that folder. What could be different on the server's IIS w.r.t. my service? Why was it able to access the network folder before but not now? Please note that I can manually access that shared network folder from my machine, and also when I remote desktop to that <networkMachine> from windows explorer.
I saw in the task manager on the server that the IIS process w3wp.exe is running under 'NETWORK SERVICE' account. Though the network folder is not shared specifically with this account, but that has given read & execute access to 'Everyone'. Then what is the problem that it cannot access the folder. By accessing I mean creating a 'DirectoryInfo' object of the path '\<networkMachine ><Folder >' and reading all the subfolders -
just read.
I am stumped. i want my asp.net website to access a network share folder which is located at say, //hero/superman. I can do it manually.
I've done the following:
1. Included <identity impersonate="true" userName="IUSR_TEST" password="test" /> in my web.config.
2. Set anonymous access in IIS 5.1 with username IUSR_TEST and password: test in the account that is used for anonymous access. Checked integrated windows authentication.
3. Created a profile for IUSR_TEST in computer/management/local users and created the password: test for it. It is a member of guest.
4. Created a user account IUSR_TEST for the network share computer. gave it the same username and password.
4. On the network share computer, I've enabled access for the following people: ASPNET, NETWORK SERVICE, and IUSR_TEST.. all with full potential (for now) for the directory path in question //hero/superman which is really located on: c:herosuperman. I've given it full access.
But when I StreamReader fs = File.OpenText(Server.MapPath(@"\herosuperman est.txt"); I get the error "UnauthorizedAccess Exception". Access to the path \herosuperman est.txt is denied.
So what did I miss, what am I doing wrong. The key thing here are:
the webserver is on a domain. the network share computer is NOT on a domain, it is on it's own workgroup. This workgroup, lets just say is called "villains". So if I have to manually map the network drive to access the files, I must type: /villains/IUSR_Test and password: test to be able to map it on my webserver local computer.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on my local PC. My Code kept on network Drive. when i am trying to run it from my local machine i am getting below security exception.is there anyway i can Grant Permissions to network folder?
*Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

I have an Image control with the ImageUrl property set to point to an image on a network folder, the address looks like this:
\fs01PRODUCTSimagesAM101.jpg
It renders correctly in IE but not in Firefox.
pasting the url/path directly into the browser, the address is maintained in IE: \fs01PRODUCTSimagesAM101.jpg
But in Firefox, it is converted to this: file://///fs01/PRODUCTS/images/AM101.jpg
I suspect this is related to the problem.
So, I have a webForm that has an ImageButton. This ImageButton has to open a file (said file is uploaded by the user in another web form. The file is saved to \serverNamefiles; it can be a doc file, pdf file, excel file).
So this ImageButton should open said file as you normally would. It works on debug, however when I publish my site, and run it from my localhost, it doesn't open the file. When I click the ImageButton it just does the postback and nothing happens.
The code for the ImageButton is just:
Process.Start(fileName);
fileName has the full path of the file I want to open, in this case it has: \serverNamefilesmyFile.pdf
Im trying out the Hudson Continuous Integration. After the build is executed i want to copy the content of the ReleaseBuild to another website on the server.This should be possible i guess but i cant seem figure it out.I know this can be done in nAnt and msbuild but i need to make Hudson do it, eg plugin or something.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a folder to store some web controls, so the site structure doesn't have a zillion files in the root.
Except that if I create an ordinary folder, that folder is also visible on the web site. MSDN said you cannot put it in App_Code, and it doesn't really make sense to put it in other special folder like App_Data or App_Theme.

In both VS 2008 and VS 2010 when we open websites using FILE > OPEN WEBSITE we get a prompt asking us if we want to convert the website to .Net 3.5 or .Net 4.0.
I know once you answer it wont ask again for that site, but it gets annoying when we have alot of websites. We cannot convert the sites because the servers they run on are too old.
Is there a way to disable this prompt permanently?
I have a asp.net website in the IIS which is available on internet as www.xyz.com now I have been asked to prepare another website which will be accessed via www.xyz.com/abc.
For this, do I need to create a virtual directory under the website folder XYZ in IIS? or is there any other way to achieve this.
