File permissions for FileUpload

This has to do with uploading files to a folder on the web server.

In http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323246

it indicates that the permissions on the folder you are uploading to should
be set on user MachineName\ASPNET. This does not work for me on our
production server. It does on my development PC. In order to upload on the
productions server I had to use Everyone with full control.

Any thoughts.

you need to provide the correct account with the appropriate permissions.
you will need to display the account on the page using the
windows.principle.identity (i'm sure this is wrong but you get the idea).
once you see the identity, provide permissions to that identity

If the production machine is with Windows Server 2003 OS, the user ASP.NET
runs under is NETWORK SERVICE instead of ASPNET (that's for all other OS's).
That's the defaults, of course if there is a custom account specified for
whatever reason, permissions needs to be for it, as Alvin said.
