accessing files over intranet

[Miro]

Hi!

How can I access files over intranet. I have mapped a
server to the drive letter G and try to access a file
from ASP.NET, but File.Exists("G:\filename.ext") returns
false. The same code in Windows Forms return true, so I
guess it has something to do with the permissions. I set
all rights to the IUSR_machinename. This is enough to
make it work locally on C: but not on G:

any suggestions?

Hi Miro,

With a Windows Application, it will use your current logon account to
access driver G:. With an ASP.NET application, It may use the accounts:
"ASPNET", "IUSER_machinename" or others. This is determined by setting of
IIS and ASP.NET configration. I suggest you can take a look at following
article to see if you can resolve the problem with impernate:

Thanks Luke!

What solved this for me was two things. Uncheck
the "anonymous access" in IIS and insert this:

<identity impersonate="true"/>

into web.config. Anyway I still have trouble making it
work on Novell servers. It works WXP->W2000 and W2000-

>W2000 but not W2000->Novell. I'm using windows

authentication with adm rights. Any suggestions on this
one?

Hi Miro,

Can you access the files on Novell via Windows application?
