My Error was:

Server Error in '/WebSite5' Application.
Access to the path 'E:\Program Files\ImageUp\WebSite5\Upload' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:\Program Files\ImageUp\WebSite5\Upload' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true">, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Source Error:

Line 168: Response.ContentType = "application//octet-stream";

My Code was:

protected void lnkDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

LinkButton lnkbtn = sender as LinkButton;
GridViewRow gvrow = lnkbtn.NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
int ImageId = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[gvrow.RowIndex].Value.ToString());
string name, type;
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strCon))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "select ImageName, FileName, AddedOn from ImageInfo where ImageId=@ImageId";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ImageId", ImageId);
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.Read())
{
// Response.ContentType = dr["AddedOn "].ToString();
// Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + dr["ImageName"] + "\"");
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(Server.MapPath("Upload"));
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application//octet-stream";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fi.Name);
Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath(fi.Name));
Response.End();
}
}

The Webserver isn't allowed to write into the specified 'E:\Program Files\ImageUp\WebSite5\Upload'-Path

Pretty much what

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Reason for my vote of one: Running a web application with administrator account privileges is a breach of security.
