Hi,

Server was unable to process request. --> Access to the path "\
\172.21.142.228\Downloaded Software\Downloads\VersionServer.txt"
is denied.

That's a bit short, but... make sure that your ASPNET process has read
(or read-write, depending what you do) to that file. Remember that
ASP.NET doesn't run under the currently logged-in user, but has its own
account.

HTH,
Laurent

thanks for the reply
sorry for such a short post



actually i was writing a webservice to read a text file from the
server.........i am shering the code. On executing the code from a
client pc the error is generated What can be the possible reason also
how to give the ASP.NET permissions.


[WebMethod]
public string CheckVersion()//
{
try
{
string VerServer="";
string VerClient="";



System.IO.TextReader trServer = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"\
\172.21.142.228\Downloaded Software\Downloads\VersionServer.txt");
VerServer = trServer.ReadLine();
trServer.Close();

System.IO.TextReader trClient = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\PRP
\VersionClient.txt");
VerClient = trClient.ReadLine();
trClient.Close();

if(VerServer!=VerClient)
{
// System.Net.WebClient Wclt = new System.Net.WebClient();
// Wclt.Credentials = netCred;
// Wclt.DownloadFile(@"http://fsdgurgaon:8000/FileSystems/
DownloadItem.aspx?filepath=E:\Downloaded Software\Downloads
\PRPSetup.msi",@"C:/PRP/PRPSetup.msi");

// System.IO.TextWriter twrClient = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:
\PRP\VersionClient.txt");
// twrClient.WriteLine(VerServer);
// twrClient.Close();

status = "true";

return(status);

status = "false";
return(status);
}
}
catch(Exception Ex)

status = Ex.Message.ToString();
return(status);
