Hello,

I need my ASP.NET application to create and delete directories. I have asked my hosting provider to setup a public folder that is has its permissions set to read/write. I know that this public folder has these permissions because my application can create and delete files inside this directory. My problem is that when I try to create a directory inside this public folder, I get the following error...

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "D:\business\ejewelsonline.com\html\public\test".


This is the code that I've been using (and it has been working perfectly on my development machine)...
Code:
 
Dim strDir As String = "D:\business\ejewelsonline.com\html\public\test" 
Dim dir As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(strDir) 
If dir.Exists = False Then 
    'create the directory 
    dir.Attributes = IO.FileAttributes.Directory 
    dir.Create() 
End If
I've been told by my hosting provider that everything is set properly on their end, but I don't know what else could be giving me the error. When I create the directory through ftp then dir.Exists = True so I know that I have the correct path the my public folder.

Please, if anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful if you could share them with me. I don't know whether or not my hosting provider is actually to blame or if I need to modify my code. I've been trying to resolve this for 2 days and between my and my provider, we've still yet to come up with a solution.
