An application running on another computer might need to convert the path to an UNC path before accessing it.īITS supports many combinations of authentication schemes. The BITS-Request-DataFile-Name header always contains a path specification that is relative to the computer hosting the BITS Extensions component. The notified application must be able to map and access the remote file even if the notification URL is serviced by a web server that is on a different computer than the physical upload directory. BITS sets the ACLs on the referenced file to those of the physical directory to which the virtual directory is mapped. If the notification type (see the BITSServerNotificationType property) is by reference, the application must ensure the user has access to the referenced file (see the BITS-Request-DataFile-Name header). The upload job fails if BITS is unable to access the notification URL due to authentication failure. BITS uses the authentication scheme specified for the virtual directory to access the notification URL. The authentication scheme you specify for the virtual directory and notification URL (see the BITSServerNotificationURL property) must be compatible. The authenticated user (or IIS's Anonymous user for anonymous authentication) must have Change permissions on the physical directory to which the virtual directory is mapped granting Write permissions does not suffice.

If you upload a file to a virtual directory that has these permissions enabled, the job fails with an error code of BG_E_SERVER_EXECUTE_ENABLED.īITS does not require the virtual directory to be write enabled, so it is recommended that you turn off write access to the virtual directory. For security reasons, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) does not upload files to a virtual directory that has scripting and execute permissions enabled.
