Hi Jeff, I think you may be happy with the System.Net.WebClient class, which has an UploadFile method. You can specify PUT for your method and create a file on the server, like this: WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient(); myWebClient.UploadFile( "http://localhost:8080/puttest/test.xml";, "PUT", "c:\\test.xml" ); My understanding of the permissions side is that you can use a combination of IIS configuration and the WebClient.Credentials property to restrict write access to that file.
