Asp.net 4 FileUpload gets "Permission Denied" when Uploading file
JS List

Hello,
There's 2 apps that upload files. Both have been running fine. Files were able to be uploaded. I uploaded a file through it 3 days ago and it worked. This morning it comes up with an error: "Access to the path 'D:\.....' is denied."
It's happening write at this code line
FileUpload1.SaveAs(thisSav
I looked at the code for thisSaveServer and savePath and it looks good - hasn't changed
Here's the weird thing. There's 1 IIS server and 4 webs on it. 2 Webs for testing (A & B) 2 webs for production (C & D)
In each case Web B uploads to Web A and Web D uploads to Web C. A Virtual Directory is used in each case.
Production (Web D->C) works great
Testing Web(B->A) gives me an error.
I copied the .aspx file from Production to Testing and got the same error. So it's not the code.
I look at the permissions and they are identical. IIS_MACHINENAME has full control
For the application pools identity they are using ApplicationPoolIdentity
Here's something new: I was able to upload 1 file and not the other. These are all pdfs. When I opened the pdf files on the server - go to properties -> Details -> The one that wouldn't upload says Owner = Administrators. The one that did upload says Owner = App Pool Identity name.
When I open the pdfs on my desktop that were uploaded they both have me as the owner.
Any ideas on where I could investigate and find what's happening? Talked to the server guys and they said they didn't change anything.
