Web Forms :: Writing A File (doc) To Different Server On The Network?
May 18, 2010
I am trying to create and write a file on a remote server using the below code:
[Code]....
but i am running into issues and getting errors. Below are some tries i have given. My IIS settings are 'Anonymous Access' checked and also 'Integrated windows authentication' checked.
a. As i understand asp.net site would run using ASPNET account, i tried giving full permission to ASPNET account to the folder on the remote server (where i want to drop the file). But i am getting this error - "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password"
b. The other thing i tried is giving full permissions to 'Everyone' to the remote server folder. But i get the same error as above. But when in my web.config i enable impersonation by using:
[Code]....
then the error goes away and everything works fine as expected. The file gets dropped to the network share.
why the scenario (a) doesn't work because that should work as if i give ASPNET account full access to the folder, and my website is running under the same account, then it should work.
Also, in the scenario (b), i believe it is using my domain account, as the impersonation is true without specifying any username and password and also the remote server folder has Everyone access to full control.
BUT, as a security breach, i cannot use Everyone account to the remote folder. In that case, how can i make this working.
I was also thinking if i can use the virtual directory as the path to the remote folder, something like
http://domain.com/remotefolder but dont know how can i use this approach. Can someone pls share some sample code and the configuration.
I am REALLY stuck with this and need a solution in the next 24 hours .i I have uploaded my asp.net web application to the web and have the database and connection strings functioning and reading the data from the database. But when I try to write to the DB
I get the following error :
Server Error in '/' Application.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
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.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
The wierd thing about this is the connection strings work from the local machine when I run from Visual Studio and I can write to the DB there, I just cannot write to the DB from the URL.
I am pretty new to asp.net but I am sure it has to be something to do with the web.config.
I'm making an application which takes image from user upload it to server and then perform any image processing like to convert to gray or invert etc.
My problem is this when i did the process on image to gray it or invert then how to write this new file on server or is there any other way so that i would be able to show this (new) image to user and make it downloadable?
i need to save multiple documents stored in SQL server as Image type to disk.
What i want to do is "backup" all files in a table (column) to disk, zip them and Response.TransmitFile(FilePath) to client.
I could use C# ot VB but that would require a lot of connections to database or a lot of server memory and i don't want that, becauze there are a lot of files to be saved Since SQL can write files to disk i was thinking about saving those files to disk directly from sql. Something like when u're doing a backup
Spent ages trying to get this right but am struggling now. I have a list box and textbox, I can happily enter Email addresses into the textbox which are saved into a text file and populated in a list box. I want to be able to select a list item and delete it, along with it's record in my text file. I was going to do it by on the delete list item / button click, it delete's the text file and then writes and a new one with the remaining list items in the list box. Unfortunately it's re-writing the file but either not including the remaining list items. Here's some examples of what I've changed and what populates the text file:
StreamWriter1.WriteLine(Addresses.Items); - System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection StreamWriter1.WriteLine(Addresses.Text); - A blank line?!?
The code is below. The reason I wouldn't allow the user to delete the first list item is because I thought the code was working ok but for some reason putting in a blank line to start with, and if I deleted the line it'd delete all file content. No, I don't know why I thought that either.
[Code]....
where I've gone wrong? I've not actually slept since I woke up at 8am yesterday. It's now 11am... today.
Based on this piece of code, I want to do exactly like this demonstration. However, correct me if I'm wrong but if two or more users somehow simultaneously access the web page at the same precise nanosecond in time, then wouldn't we have a race condition? So is this piece of code valid? How would I correct this to make it thread safe?
In my asp.net application (an inhouse software) I want users to be able to use files from Network (filepath stored in database). I use the following code to download the files:
Is there anyway to open the file without downloading it in a web based application, i.e. open the file directly from the network so when the users edit it and save it, the actual file is changed.
I have an .net web form that upload an excel file to my server. I would like for this Excel file to be upload to my SQL server since it need to be process by a sql command and the SQL server cannot seems to be able to access the IIS7 when running the quary i needed. All i want to be able to do is to load this excel file to a folder within the SQL server.Here is my web.config folder path -
Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) If FileUpload1.HasFile Then Dim FileName As String = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName) Dim Extension As String = Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName) Dim FolderPath As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FolderPath")
[code]....
when i try to change the path in the web.config it will tell me it cannot use physical path only virtual.
I am using more than one files to read and write to the server. Suppose during writing or reading any of files gets error the already stored files need to be rollback or removed from storing.So that the user agin try to write without error. Simply the all of the files need to be stored into the server without error, of error occurs to any of file none of files need to be read/write
In my application i want to share one .txt for read and write among no. of users. in Button click i m writing data in that file and in tick event of Timer i m reading that file, In tick event i m reading that file based on file based cachin means if file have been changed then only i m reading that file but when i have put m application i IIS then i m not able to get updated file.
i want to maintain a log of the visitors for a website.. the number of visitors is fix approximate (800), but i have to maintain the record of each visit page wise like page Id, time visited, user id. i am doing it using a database as it was .
i was asked to use a insert query on every page ,(ie each time user visits a page write the log to database), but i dint like the idea.. of making server trips every time the user visits a page and also we have a seperate database server. I had a idea of using XML.. but which is the best way performance wise writing a log in Xml file or insert query in database?
I have the following subroutine in an asp.net application class. The subroutine writes data to a text file upon application login. My question is that if this function was called at the same time by two different users would it cause any kind of error. Is there a need for a try catch?
Public Shared Sub writeToLogFile(ByVal UserName As String) Dim strLogMessage As String = String.Empty Dim strLogFile As String = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Log.txt") Dim swLog As StreamWriter strLogMessage = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().ToString() " ==> " & UserName If Not File.Exists(strLogFile) Then swLog = New StreamWriter(strLogFile) Else swLog = File.AppendText(strLogFile) End If swLog.WriteLine(strLogMessage) swLog.WriteLine() swLog.Close() End Sub
I keep getting this error when trying to Run or Build my ASP Project. A few details:
I migrated this project from VS 2003 to VS 2008 (C#) It works fine when I successfully compiled it and deployed onto server.I have Plenty of free diskspace available.I have 4 GB Ram and Windows XP So each time I try to build this project, I get the following error.

I want to upload files to the web servers from the client machines.
Can i upload a file on a network share folder using file upload control?
I would like to create a share folder on a file server sitting next to the web server. If i upload the file from the network share folder instead of uploading it from the client machine does it make any difference?
Will the file be stored in a temporary location before copying to the final destination? Where will be the file stored in this case of uploading it from share folder?
I'm fairly new at writing c# with asp.net and thought I'd give writing a custom class for a single file uploader, but Im a bit stuck with it. I get build errors with a few of the items, here's my code:
I inherited a web site that has a web page that displays images of properties for an online property/tax info. Using VB code, it searches for a main image then creates and saves smaller images for use as thumbnails. Currently it gets the images from a directory on the web server. The images are copied to the web server via a job from another server on our network. I am trying to code the page to get the images directly from the original server and having trouble doing it. Here's the code. Point of failure is indicated:
[Code]....
The server error: "Parameter is not valid." How can I get this to work?

Does anyone know how to use httpcontext.response.transmitfile or any other httpcontext function to download a file from a network drive instead of local drive?
When I tried to use context.Response.TransmitFile(DownloadPath) to download files, the DownloadPath has to be local drive. If it's a network drive, the download failed.
my projects image files hosts on a local server machine which name is A.
another server hosts my web projects on IIS which name is B.
I want to set my web projects's image file names like image1.ImageURL = "A\foldername\image.png";
but when the projects runs the image file url gets the image url adrress : [URl] I must access the image files which are another server machine on my local network area and I must get the ImageUrl properties from another server machine
I try to login to SQL Server Management Studio, using Windows Authentication and I get the error message:

I am using Sql Server 2008 to connect to a Remote Server. Everything was working fine for the last couple of months, and i was successfully connecting to the remote server. Today it suddenly stopped connecting to the remote server. note that i did not alter any configuration settings. Did my isp block Sql Server. My ISP is using ISA SERVER? The error details are:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) I am using Microsoft Firewall Client For ISA Server for opening ports. But today nothing is working.
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.
