This looks to be some type of permissions error thrown up by the upload component aspSmartUpload that you are using.

The error is being thrown up when the component tries to save the file to memory so that it can be filtered for malicious code, unsafe file types, etc. before being saved to disk.

It could be that this type of upload has been disabled by your web host. For more info you should consult the aspSmartUpload documentation as it should give a better idea what is wrong.

If you can I would also recommend using AspUpload as your upload component as it is the best one out of the supported components.

I am running the web server on my box... If I save the file smaller than 200 kb it works. I'll look into it...

Here was the problem: http://www.freeaspupload.net/freeaspupload/requirements.asp - http://www.freeaspupload.net/freeaspupload/requirements.asp

Server settings

Make sure the IIS web server is not restricting the size of ASP uploads. IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003) has a limit of 200 KB for ASP requests in general and file uploads in particular. To remove this limitation in IIS 6 you need to edit the Metabase file, which can be found at c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\MetaBase.xml.

Follow these steps: go to IIS and right click the server, select properties, and check the box "Allow changes to MetaBase configuration while IIS is running"; if after this step the metabase file is still locked, try turning off IIS or even restarting the machine in safe mode; open the file in an editor; the variable AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed limits the number of bytes in the page request (by default 200KB); change the value to 1073741824 (unlimited) or to a limit of your choice; check whether the same variable shows up in other places in the file.
