how to load files on asp.net website

Question

I have an ASP.NET web site. The site has a button that allows you to load your photo on the website and it works without any problems on my local computer. But on server when I want to upload an image, I catch an exception. This is the exception that I catch:

Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\vhosts\u0270481.plsk.regruhosting.ru\httpdocs\ps-plus.pro\UsersIcons\259b60ca-16de-4168-8b45-900f7078bcea.png' is denied.

There is a code I use:

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(String.Format("UsersIcons/{0}", userIcoName)));

It looks like the UserIcons folder only has READ access on the server. You need to change it to READ/WRITE — Dan Orlovsky

The asp.net website works with a Windows given user (a user account, not an administrator, likely) so, when that user tries to access the server C path/or whatever path you set it, and that drive does not allow that user to copy from that path, you'll get that exception.

You can add permission to that user over your file and then it'd work.
