Question

In a ASP.NET program is there a location where I can I write temporary files? Assuming a default IIS installation, the program running under anonymous user?

Thank you

You can pretty much save temporary files anywhere on disk as long as you have permissions. You will just need to make sure the files are uniquely named per anonymous user.

Ideally having a dedicated "temporary" folder is a good idea, where these files will be deleted or cleaned up periodically.
