SYMPTOMS
When deploying Web Content, Controls, and Applets with the Visual InterDev 6.0 Deployment Explorer, you may receive the following error in the Task List:

Failed to deploy a file (C:\TEMP\_ScriptLibrary\ADOUTILS.ASP): The Web server returned the following error: You do not have write access to destination URL http:// / /_ScriptLibrary



CAUSE
Write permissions have not been enabled for the target directory.



RESOLUTION
You will need to temporarily enable write permissions on the remote server using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To do this complete the following steps:
 * 1) Start the Internet Service Manager in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and right-click on the Web application you are deploying to and select Properties.
 * 2) In the Access Permissions section of the Directory Properties page turn on Write permissions.
 * 3) Click OK to apply these permissions.

NOTE: Allowing write access to a virtual directory is a SECURITY RISK. You should remove write access after deploying your content.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
