The server does not use your user account to access folders and other resources; it uses the Network Service account by default. If you are saving files to a location other than C:\WMPub and its subdirectories, make sure that the folder is shared and that the Network Service account has read and write permissions for the folder. If the Network Service account does not have permissions for a folder, the server will not be able to save files to it. For more information about rights and permissions, see Understanding rights.
