Re: How to create file on network share from ASP.NET

Hi Kevin,

My problem is that I don't understand how impersanation can help me. My web
server (means any accounts on it) does not permissions to read/write to
shared directories. Administrators of Unix and Windows domain created for me
appropriate accounts for access to shares - means on Unix was created user
asp with password asp which can access shared folder. From Windows Explorer
on my PC I can connect to this shared folder using provided username and
password. But this username and password are from remote box not the local
one, which means that LogonUser will not work for me as it can be used only
to login to local computer (at least that is what documentation says).

Could you please help with the issue that I need to login to another box
using another box'es account and not the local one?

Thanks a lot.
