q; access to a remote file

[Guest]

\\MyRemoteServer\F1\F2\F3\This PDF.pdf is accessible thought my IE browser,
so my user has access there.
However the following code gives "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password.\r\n"
I need to get this application run under a user that has access to
MyRemoteServer, how should I do this?

void dDialog(string sPath)
{

sPath="\\\\MyRemoteServer\\F1\\F2\\F3\\This PDF.pdf";
System.IO.FileInfo oFile;
try
{
oFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(sPath);
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
oFile.Name);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", oFile.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.WriteFile(oFile.FullName);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write("Exception: " + ex.Message);
}
finally
{
Response.End();
}
}

The asp.net account must be a domain account to access UNC paths, so
impersonate a domain user who has access to both the server your codes on
and the one you wish to access.

Thanks for the reply. Can you give me a site that shows how I can do it.

Thanks John. I put the following lines into Web.config and got the following
error. Is there anything else I need to do? I am suing APS.Net 1.1.

<identity impersonate="true"
userName="domain\user"
password="password" />

You have to actually give the entries values, like the domain your user is
from and the actual username, and their password. Did you make the mistake
of copying it verbatim.

Please don't sue ASP.NET 1.1... ;-)

Seriously, check to see if

<identity impersonate="true"
userName="domain\user"
password="password" />

is inside the <system.web> section of web.config.

Also, check to see that it's not within another configuration section.

Hi Juan, I would not but the while application is written in1.1, will there
be any problem if I convert it to 2.0?
