Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I have this application build on asp.net for uploading and reading
files (mainly photos). I have created a virtual directory on IIS (ver.5
- win2k server) which I use for uploading the files. As long as this
directory stays on the same server as the application, everything goes
ok. But when I try to point the directory on a network shared folder,
it says it cannot find the specified path. I am using the same
administartor account on both servers (with thesame password). I can
even map this folder from windows explorer, but when I try to do it
from IIS I get the error. What can I do ?

Thanx

when I created the remote directory I supplied the username and
password (as fixed credentials). Also I granted all rights to that
folder even for aspnet_usr. But I tried something else today. If I
specify the IIS services to run under the account of administrator (Not
LOCAL SYSTEM), it works. I don't understand why because Administrator
and Local System should be one and the same (in this case).

Mapping drive letters only works for the logged on user. Since IIS is not
running as that user, it can't see the mapped drive letter.

When you created the virtual directory, and pointed it to the remote share,
did you choose to use a fixed set of credentials, and supply the appropriate
username/password? Then, did you tell ASP.NET to use that account (rather
than the default, which is the Machine\ASPNET account?)

Cheers
Ken
