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

Hi, Andre.

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

should allow you to run ASP.NET while impersonating the
domain account which has permissions to read/write the other box.

For that, of course, both the other box and your box
need to be members of the same domain.
