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

Hi Juan,

Thank you for your reply, but my point is exactly that both computers ARE
NOT members of the same domain - one is standalone Win2003 and another is
external domain member and I can not put both onto the same domain. Is there
any other way to do it?

Thank you.
