Re: Problem viewing uploaded images using ASP.NET

Hi IkBenHet,

Part of the reason you may not have received a reply is the way you asked
the question. For example, "I can post images with FTP and the uploadform" -
What exactly does this mean? There is no such thing (to us) as "the
uploadform." You know what you're referring to, but we do not. It helps to
be spcific about what your terms mean. Also, "I can control the permission
via a webbased admin tool" - Again, what is "the permission?" We have to
guess from the context.

IOW, in order to get an answer, it is important to make it as easy as
possible for people to understand exactly what you're asking, and what your
problem is. Of course, you don't always know what your problem is, but in
that case, pretend you're talking to a car mechanic, and you don't
understand cars. For example, one might describe a car problem to a mechanic
by saying "When I'm driving very fast, and I suddenly put my foot on the
brake and press very hard, I hear a screeching sound coming from the left
front side of the car. However, when I'm driving at a normal speed, I don't.
And when I hear the screeching sound, it only comes from the left front side
of the car." The mechanic can then make an educated guess, based upon the
very specific symptoms you've described, and his knowledge of cars, what the
problem may be. He might then be able to ask you some follow-up questions
about the symptoms to narrow down the problem.

So, on to my best guess as to what you mean, and what it might indicate.
Plainly, you are experiencing some sort of permission issue. Apparently,
something you describe as yourself ("I want to VIEW...") is having some
difficulty reading the images. I don't know whether your'e referring to an
ASP.Net application, or a browser. The answer depends upon what you are
referring to.

You say that it apparently has "something to do with the ASP.Net account on
that folder," but again, I can't assume that until I know specifically what
the problem is. If it is a problem with your app reading the files, that is
the case. On the other hand, if the client browser can't read the files,
it's the anonymous (probably, but I can't tell for sure - that depends on
the security settings on your web site with regards to anonymous access)
Internet user account that doesn't have permission to read the files in that
folder.

The answer to your question depends on the answer to my questions. Now,
again, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the "webbased admin tool
that the provider have made available for me" is a web-based web
administration tool that allows you to grant limited permissions for client
browsers to either read and/or write to folders inside your web. If that is
the case, and if it is the case that your ASP.Net app cannot read from that
folder, then the provider will have to set the permissions.

Again, I can give you a better answer if you can answer all of my
questions.
