Hi, Im trying to use the fileupload control. Im using Visual Web Developer Express on my desktop.

My web application is working fine except I cant use the fileUpload control. I get the following error:

ERROR: Access to the path (My_Directory) is denied

I searched and it appears to be a permissions problem. So I attempted to add the user ASPNET and give appropriate permissions to the directory, however, I was unable to add user "ASPNET". User "ASPNET" was not found.

So then I followed the following directions to add user ASPNET via Control Panel > Administration > Computer management. So now I was able to add user ASPNET to the directory and give appropriate permissions but I still got the above error.

Any ideas on why I cant access the directory?
