Dear All,

I need your help. I have a webform created in asp.net, with starting virtual directory on IIS:

/myWeb/Default.aspx

and can be accessed in browser here: http://myserver/myWeb/Default.aspx

Here I can upload files to a virtual directory:

/myWeb/uploads/

This works fine.

My question is, that how can I access the file list from winForm (C#.net) and show the results in ListBox (or ListView or dataGridView. I don't know which one is perfect for this). I think my weapon is HostingEnvironment.MapPath in C#.NET.

The WinForm is deployed with ClickOnce, so it has a virtual directory in IIS of course. But totally another than webform.

What if I enable directory browsing on the 'uploads' directory? should I have to? I don't want to use FTP connection to get the file list.

thanks for your help.

Does server and machine is placed on the same LAN?

Yes they are. But file sharing is not working. I managed to find a solution with HttpWebRequest. It is not bad, but if I can have a solution with MapPath, that would be awesome.

Your winform will need permissions to see c:\inetpub\wwwroot\... wherever your files are.

As RyanDev[^] mentioned, you have to add proper permissions.

Please see:
Description of default permissions and user rights for IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0 [^]
How do I set permissions on wwwroot files (http://localhost) running IIS[^]
How can I get write permission for the Web (Inetpub) directory on a new Win 7 machine?[^]
