访问本地路径被拒绝

Question

I'm using Sharefile API and I'm trying to download files from Sharefile but when I do it I get the message:

Access to path 'C:\\_testing' is denied.

Here's part of the code to the download method:

Public Sub FileDownload(ByVal fileId As String, ByVal localPath As String)

        ...
        ...

            Try

                Dim target As FileStream = New FileStream(localPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
                Dim chunk(8192) As Byte
                Dim len As Integer

                ...
         ...
         ...

    End Sub

At the line where I define "target" it throws an exception and the message is the one posted above the code sample.

Why is this? My test folder has read/write permissions and FileMode is set to "Create". Also, I've tried in different locations and without any luck.

Answer 1

After many comments, i'll try to post an answer.

Dim target As FileStream = New FileStream(localPath & fileId, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)

You want to download a FILE, not a FOLDER.

For instance,

Dim target As FileStream = New FileStream("C:\Users\Me\Desktop", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write) 

throws an error,

Dim target As FileStream = New FileStream("C:\Users\Me\Desktop\test.jpg", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)

doesn't.

Answer 2

i am having this issue too,

filestream = New FileStream("C:\somefile.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.readWrite, FileSHare.ReadWrite)

the file somefile.txt might exists or not, that is why i selected fileMode.create. still having the error. My file is not passed into a parameter, its directly a string. So im still searching what is going on.
