I have a virtual directory on our web site with a number of dynamically created subfolders for customers to upload images using the uploader control inside the FileExplorer.

The FileExplorer control also allows deletion of any uploaded files within the customer's directory, however, when I attempt to use the System.IO.Delete() method within my code to delete files and directories, I get an exception: "Access to path denied".

My question (although not direclty related to EO controls), is what permissions do you use with the FileExplorer control to allow deletion of files from a virtual directory - or any directory for that matter - that are not accomplished by granting the ASPNET and Administrator's accounts Full access to the file share and directory?

Thanks,

Interesting, when I run my application in my dev envirionment which uses a local application directory (not virtual), the file attribute setting, file deletion and directory deletion works fine, but when I build to our test staging site which has the virtual directory, I get the "Access to path is denied" exception as soon as FileAttributes.Normal is called after mapping the path and checking Directory.Exists for the specified sub directory (which succeeds).

It seems like there must be some difference in permissions in how the file explorer code executes. The path is the same, just a virtual directory in the staging site.

Thanks,
