using webclient to write to a .txt file on server

[FartNocker]

HI. I am trying to use a VB .NET desktop app to write some text to a text file on an ASP server. I can read the files OK. but when I use the method below I get the 505 error. The directory is setup as follows:
Username=anonymous, Read=Allow, Write=Allow

If I need to pass the Username=anonymous, how do I do that?

Question is: What more do I need to do to be able to write to this file?

Actually I want to append to this file like a log file.

Thanks,
Mark

ERROR 505 "Method Not Allowed"

The 505 error comes up on the call to close the Stream.

If I take out the Stream.close() the error goes away but it still does not write to the file.
