Cannot Access File on Network Drive from web Application
View 5 RepliesI'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.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '......same as above....' is denied.
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.

My asp.net web app is hosted on this URL on my local machine:
http://localhost:45433/
I want to access the same application from a different computer on the network. I tried replacing the localhost with my IP but it did not work.
UPDATE 1:
Now, I am getting this error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I have a few computers (with Vista Business OS) connected in a private network. A C#.NET application running on one computer is currently able to access the network shared folders without problems. However, I am trying to get an ASP.NET application on that computer to access the same folders but I am getting "Access denied" errors. I added NETWORK SERVICE to all the shared folders' security (with full control) but it still gives the same errors.
View 4 RepliesI am using windows authentication in website. All LAN users have access to one shared drive. I want to retrieve those files progrmatically. Like reading a file from network drive. If I open the solution and click F5, I am able to access it. Once it is hosted in IIS, its throwing error.
View 3 RepliesI'm new in the WCF and in the web developing ..
I wrote WCF service and i by creating new Web Sites - i added new WCF service that will host my WCF service.
In the 'Web location' i define the service to be HTTP and the URL to be "http://localhost/MyService"
Now i want to access thru some other machine ( in the same network ) to my machine and get using the Service method that my WCF service exposed - but i fail each time ( calling from the second machine "http://a.b.c.d/MyService/interfaceMethodName")
If i try to call the web service thru the same machine - i get the right response.
In my application, first, i have not connected to iis server, and trying to access secondary path at this time it is accessing that path. but when it is connected to IIS server, it is giving unathourizedaccess exception.
View 1 RepliesI 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 a (relatively new) developer using asp.net with VB.NET. Currently all my applications are developed on my PC and then are built and moved onto the web server. I'm going to be working remotely for 3 months in which time I'll be connecting to the company network via VPN. What is the best way to access my projects? I need to have the projects stored on the company network so that others can access them too. So simply copying the projects to my laptop, working on them, then copying them back won't suffice. I tried to just open the projects off of the network share but am getting application trust problems.
View 2 RepliesIf you use anonymous access + impersonation of a windows domain account to access a file on a network share, is the password sent in clear text?
View 3 RepliesFirst, I felt I had a clear understanding of how the Network Service account work. It is the default account ASP.Net runs under and has very limited access. I have verified in the Application Pool that ASP.Net is running under the Network Service Account. I have a UNC file share that is located on another server, let us say "\myservermyfiles". I have logged on to "MyServer" and right-clicked on the shared folder "myfiles" and just for the sake of testing, went to the Shared Tab->Permissions and added the Network Service account and gave it "change and read" access. I then went to the Security Tab, added the Network Service account and gave it all permissions. For some reason, I am still getting an "access denied" exception. I know impersonation is an option at some point, but I would really like to know why my ASP.Net application cannot copy a file to this share just for my own personal understanding given the fact that I gave the Network Service account the proper access. Like always, I will continue to research.
IIS 6
ASP.Net 2.0
I've been researching and I've spent pratically all day on this. Here's my issue. The website uses forms authentication that we authenticate against active directory. I've been attempting to access files we have on a network share and push them down to the user (when they request them) in an http response. I keep getting "Access to the path <unc path> is denied".
Here's the code:
[Code]....
Things I've tried:1) When I add the "Computer" to the permissions of the folder it works and I dont even need to emulate a user (essentially just commenting out this code), but I'm not sure we want to explicitly give the computer access to some of our network shares 2) I've verified it's the correct username and password for the active directory account and that they have permissions on these network shares 3) I've fooled around with the WebProxy class with no luck (as I'm not entirely familiar with it) 4) I've tried impersonating the user by creating a windows token and passing the token as credentials (i've done this with similar websites) with no luck, plus this seemed a bit complicated for something I figured would be relatively easy.Its almost as if, the WebClient class isn't even using the credentials i've passed it.We've got it working now, but only by giving the "Computer" specific permissions on the network shares, which we'd like to avoid.
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 developed a simple web application. A label and a button. On click of Button, the label will display Hello World.
When I deploy this web application on my web server and access the URL, I get this error message.
The current identity (NT Authority/Network Service) does not have write access to C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files
I have tried the following -
Navigate to C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 and typed the following command -
aspnet_regiis -ga "NT AuthorityNetwork Service"
After that also, it did not work.
We checked the permissions of the folder Temporary ASP.NET Files and for the Network Service user, we checked the Security Permissions and it has all the permissions as required.
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 have an ASp.net application using C#. I need to copy a file present on the web server machine to a remote machine on the network. Although this seems to be a trivial matter I am having difficulties copying the exe I am Trying
string Source = @"c: emp est.exe"
string Destination = @"Z: est.exe"
File.Copy(Source, Destination, true)
Z: is mapped to the Remote machine network drive. I am able to physically copy files to this drive from the Web Server machine, but when I try from ASp.net, I get the following error System.Io.Exception: Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password
I think it has to do with the Web Server using the ASPNET user , which does not have the right credentials on the remote machine. I do not know how to solve this issue I tried using WMI too, I was able to copy files from one directory to another directory on the remote machine, but not from the Web Server machine to Remote machine
I would like to upload a file to network share drive e.g.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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:
string strAttachmentID = ((Label)GridViewNotes.Rows[GridViewNotes.SelectedIndex].FindControl("lblAttachmentID")).Text;
int AttachmentID = Convert.ToInt32(strAttachmentID);
Attachment attachment = Attachment.GetAttachment_ByAttachmentID(AttachmentID);
[Code]....
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.
Frontend - IIS7 Server

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 -
<appSettings>
<add key="FolderPath" value="Uploads/"/>

and here is the code -
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 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?
Is there anyway that I can print a file (either word, excel, or pdf) to a network printer using C#? I tried to search around but I haven't find an answer yet
View 6 RepliesDoes 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.
