I face a situation where my web service needs to access partion D in server hard disk and can send, receive files to/from client.
Is it true that a web service can do that even when there’s no permission on the folder?
I know that I can add to the folder of asp.net path using mappath function…
Can any one illustrate to me how this would be done and how can the web service access the server local disk?
In order for the web service to be able to either read or write files to a folder on your server it must have permission to do so.
The first question you need to determine is what user is the web service executing under? Once you know that then you can set the appropriate rights to the folder in question.
