I have a Visual-Basic windows app that reads incoming SMTP email files from C:\inetpub\mailroot\Drop\
and then moves them renamed to C:\primary\
I’ve set Windows file permissions of both directories C:\inetpub\mailroot\Drop\
and C:\primary\
to “everyone” full access.
I have a 2nd VB.NET Windows app that reads each file, processes it, then deletes it using kill(filepath)
which gets the error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Additional information: Access to the path '\\<my server>\C\Primary\[email protected] #71615 1.TXT' is denied.”
The files security permissions has “everyone” full access.
How do I set file permissions for the directories to prevent this error and be safe from hacker attack and not use “everyone” permission?
