I want to dis-allow access to Upload folder, where the files from authorised users are being stored. I want to restrict http://domain.com/Upload/filename.ext.
I have tried location
tag in root web.config
as
<location path="Upload">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
But still the URL: http://domain.com/Upload/filename.ext is accessible. I have also tried adding web.config to Upload folder as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
But still no use. Also I have followed some existing posts on Stack Overflow: Deny users to access a folder How to restrict folder access in asp.net Deny access to 'admin' folder in web.config & more but nothing is working for me. I am using authentication-
<authentication mode="None" >
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" protection="All" path="/" timeout="15" requireSSL="false" domain=".domain.com"/>
</authentication>
Need help on this security issue...
