ASP.NET Permissions to Mail Directory

[sneckelmann]

Hello,

How can I give my ASP.NET script access to the mail directory?

[sneckelmann]

I'm trying the following coding:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
  Dim MAIL_PATH As String = "/home/neckelma/mail/neckelmann.x10hosting.com/mapper/cur/"
  Response.Write(My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(MAIL_PATH))
End Sub

which always writes FALSE. Here is a picture of the control panel showing the mail path.



Any suggestions?

What is the directory currently chmoded to?

[sneckelmann]

Each directory:

mail - 0750
neckelmann.x10hosting.com - 0750
mapper - 0750
cur - 0750

I'm hoping a Moderator could help me with this. I believe they have to set the appropriate permissions.

try setting it to 754
You can do it through the cPanel file manager or FTP.

Thanks xav0989 but that didn't work either.

Post a ticket in the free hosting support section, as it is probably something only admins can do.

[sneckelmann]

Will do. Thanks again.

There should be nothing preventing you from setting permissions on a directory you own. Furthermore, the ASP.Net script will run with your credentials and thus have the same authorization to access anything you can access. The cause probably lies elsewhere, perhaps in Mono's Visual Basic Runtime Library, which is the assembly that hosts My.Computer.FileSystem.
