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

re:
> both computers ARE NOT members of the same domain

I think that, if that's the case, you're out of luck.

You might want to talk to your network admin
about joining your machine to the network.

What would prevent that ?
( If you need to access the shared drive's file system... )

My question to you is : how do you have *shared drives*
if the machines are not on the same network ?

That sounds a bit counter-intuitive to me.
