Question When trying to upload a file, I get the following error:

An error was encountered while trying to receive the file upload
Answer This would be caused by a permissions problem with your web server. It usually means the ASPUpload component cannot write the upload file to the UserImages folder. Make sure that your IIS anonymous user account has complete read/write permissions to the UserImages directory. You can make sure of this by giving the Everyone group Full Control rights on the UserImages directory. For more information on filesystem permissions, see FAQ Article #390.

If you continue to have a problem, Persits also recommends that the file AspUpload.dll also have Full Control permissions.
