Upload images from ASP.NET to godaddy file system

Question

I have an Admin panel on my website, which allows a user to upload images to file system. I'm simply doing in C# code:

imageFile.SaveAs(galleryPath + fileName); 

But getting a permissions exception:

Access to the path 'D:\Hosting...\html\Images\Gallery\page2-img1.jpg' is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\Hosting...\html\Images\Gallery\page2-img1.jpg' is denied.

Can you please give me a tip how can I grant a permissions?

Answer 1

Read this troubleshooting article, there is a solution there. If that doesn’t work just contact the support ;)

Btw, its better practice to use Path.Combine when concatenating folder+file name

imagefile.SaveAs(System.IO.Path.Combine(galleryPath, fileName));
