Access to file is denied exception with asp.net impersonation

Question

I am trying to access the files with following c# code, but when i try to execute the code i am encountered with exception saying access to path @"\\MAHESH-PC\\D$\\temp\\CloudURL.txt is denied .

Impersonation imp = new Impersonation("MAHESH-PC", "mahesh", "welcome"); File.Copy(@"\\MAHESH-PC\\D$\\temp\\CloudURL.txt", @"C:\\temp\\CloudURL.txt", true);

I have given all the access rights to both the temp folders one in the c: drive and other in the d: drive

I have enabled the Impersonation in the IIS , even then i am getting access denied exception , please can i know is their any other settings i should implement to make this working.

Answer 1

Is impersonation enabled in your web.config? I'm not positive but I wouldn't think enabling impersonation in IIS has any affect on the impersonation of your site. If not, turn it on, or grant the app pool identity read/write access to both your directories and see if that helps.

Also, double check your folder system security. It appears you granted everyone read/write access to the share, but if you're navigating to the path \\pc\\drive$\\ then it may be relying on file system security and not the security on the folder share itself. Make sense?
