    copied!<p>Right now I am working on a stub of a project. In the course of the project I need to be able to from a web front end set a message on a server to and then from an iPhone Query the Server to read the message.</p> <p>While all the individual peices are working and my request is going through fine I am having trouble using this webmethod </p> <pre><code>[WebMethod()] public void setMessage(string message) { FileStream file = new FileStream("mymessage.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(file); sw.Write(message); sw.Close(); file.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>When I invoke this via HTTP Post using SOAP from an iPhone app. </p> <p>I get the following xml in my console when I make the request.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt; &lt;soap:Body&gt; &lt;soap:Fault&gt; &lt;faultcode&gt;soap:Server&lt;/faultcode&gt; &lt;faultstring&gt;Server was unable to process request. ---&amp;gt; Access to the path 'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\myMessage.txt' is denied.&lt;/faultstring&gt; &lt;detail /&gt; &lt;/soap:Fault&gt; &lt;/soap:Body&gt; &lt;/soap:Envelope&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Server is one configured by my boss, that is currently being used in other capacities as an in house test server for several different projects.</p> <p>The server is an IIS server I do not know what version, with ASP.NET configured and installed.</p> <p>The script is located in a different place than the program is trying to write. I assume that the script is being run from that directory and that is why it is trying to write there. Is that the case or am I missing something fundamental?</p> <p>If there are any alternative suggestions as to how I could go about this I would love to hear them as well, as I am working of a pretty small knowledge base.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
