local resources

[F]

I have made a web service in windows 2000 server using VS.net 2003 C#, in
the web method i'm checking to see if a local directory exists on the web
server [ie. Directory.Exists("z:\\") z:\ == mapped drive] every time i call
the web service from a client program i get that "z:\" does not exists. Can
any please help, what am i missing?

Thanks...

The ASPNet user that asp.net pages run as doesn't have a "z:\" or isn't
allowed to view "z:\"

You'll either need to use impersonation to run that webservice as a user
that DOES have access to that directory and has it mapped. I'm also
thinking that the mapped drive will not work, but a UNC path would work
(\\networkserver\zdrivepath\).
