Geting the error: "The selected folder could not be created because the application did not have enough permissions. Please contact the administrator"

This happens when I call createNewDirectory. I have looked around the forums for a soultion but nothing seems to work. How can I troubleshoot this. It doesn't seem to be permissions from what I have checked.

I tried this and it worked fine, meaning the code Fiko asks to run works fone:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/file-explorer/cannot-create-folder-can-do-everything-else.aspx

Here is my simple test code, and I have full access on the server and the account used also has full permissions. I have used sysinternals procmon anbd I do not even see a denial of access, how can I trouble shoot this:

Hi James,

Could you please verify that the path provided to the createNewFolder() method matches the the path displayed in the RadFileExplorer's AddressBar - please see the attached screenshot for reference?

Hi James,

Please accept my sincere apologies for not being clear enough in my first reply.

The first parameter that createNewFolder() method expects should use the following syntax :
<ApplicationRootFolder> / <PathToTheFolderListedInTheFileExplorer>
In the screenshot in my previous reply "ToBeDeleted2" is the application's root folder - the ~(tilde) corresponds to this folder on the server.

You can simulate ~/ on the client using the following approach:

function GetName()

{

var MyFM = $find('<%= RadFileExplorer1.ClientID %>');

var appRoot = '<%= VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~") %>';

MyFM.createNewDirectory(appRoot + "/Test", "556477");

alert("test");

}

In addition, I noticed that GetName() function is attached as handler to the RadFileExplorer's ClientItemSelected. Please note that after creating a new directory the explorer automatically selects the newly created folder, and this will cause infinity loop.
