Glossary Item Box
For BinaryImage, Editor and GalleryBox controls, if you think your ASP.NET account is not enabled to write to the folder you want, simply open up Microsoft Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder to which you want to add this permission. Right-click on the folder (in this case, the Uploads folder), and then select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click on the Security tab and make sure the ASP.NET Machine Account is included in the list and has the proper permissions to write to disk (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Looking at the Security tab of the Uploads folder
If you don't see the ASP.NET Machine Account under the Security tab, you can add it by clicking the Add button and entering ASPNET (without the period) in the text area, as illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Adding the ASP.NET Machine Account to the folder security definition
Click OK to add the ASP.NET Machine Account to the list. From here, make sure you give this account the proper permissions and then click OK, and you are ready to go.
