Hi Rob,

File System permissions are granted on a user account basis. In other words,
the right kind of file system permissions need to be set for the right user
account. In your case, the user account may be IUSER_<machine name>, or it
may be some user account that your COM class is impersonating. I don't know
which. You would have to talk with your hosting service about that.

If you copy and paste the error message instead of describing it, that would
be extremely helpful.

Remember that when your doctor tells you to cough, he can't help you much if
you only clear your throat.

The host calls it Basic Write Permissions. The upload system should write
(for to upload image files, etc) to the "uploads" folder. Using Persits ASP
upload.
The exact error is not very exact..no matter how I set Show Friendly HTTP
errors (checked OR uncheckd) it gives me the same vague info.. Page Not
Found, HTTP: 500.100 Error... something to that effect.
It's an upload system within a forum software package....I have it working
fine in another subweb on the same domain.
At first I was thinking that I had the path to the uploads folder incorrect
(and it still may be incorrect) but someone said that I may not have the
write permission on the folder.
Shouldn't creating a folder within a subweb that has write permissions set
on everything also become a writeable folder? Thats the main quesiton here
(for me at least). If it doesn't I just need to contact my host.
ThANks..

| The phrase "Read/Write permissions" is not specific enough to give you an
| answer. What kind of permissions did you assign? File System or Web
Server?
| To whom did you grant them?
|
| Also, please post the exact error message you received.
|
| Also, please explain your use of the term "upload" which is entirely too
| generic to identify the method you used to "upload". Describe the steps
you
| took.

| Howdy all...question regarding inherited (or not) permissions.
|
| 1- created subweb with Read/Write Permissions on entire subweb.
|
| 2- uploaded subweb from local to online - everything works except
uploading
| feature (I get 500.100 error - page not found I think).
|
| 3- then created a new folder called "uploads" through FP at:
| /subwebname/forum/uploads
|
| shouldn't the upload folder inherit the read/write permissions,,,or no?
|
| Windows Server
