PRB: Error "Failed to Deploy a File (Xx.asp): You Do Not Have Write Access to Destination URL" (220841)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0
This article was previously published under Q220841

SYMPTOMS

When deploying Web Content, Controls, and Applets with the Visual InterDev 6.0 Deployment Explorer, you may receive the following error in the Task List:
Failed to deploy a file (C:\TEMP\_ScriptLibrary\ADOUTILS.ASP): The Web server returned the following error: You do not have write access to destination URL http://<remote server>/<application name>/_ScriptLibrary

CAUSE

Write permissions have not been enabled for the target directory.

RESOLUTION

You will need to temporarily enable write permissions on the remote server using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To do this complete the following steps:
  1. Start the Internet Service Manager in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and right-click on the Web application you are deploying to and select Properties.
  2. In the Access Permissions section of the Directory Properties page turn on Write permissions.
  3. Click OK to apply these permissions.
NOTE: Allowing write access to a virtual directory is a SECURITY RISK. You should remove write access after deploying your content.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
