Re: remote file access in .net app

I assume \\servername is different to Server A, Server B, and Server C?

As a guess I would examine whether ASP.NET is running under the same user
account of each machine. On our Windows 2003 server I think ASP.NET runs
under the "NETWORK SERVICE" account and I'm not sure whether this can cross
network boundaries at all.

Secondly, you are using a network share \\servername\\foldername to access
the resource. What permissions have been assigned to the network share? I
have found this to be a common gotcha.

Hi,

My .NET application has a script that checks whether an image file on a
remote server exists using File.Exists.

From my localhost (Server A), I can access the image file via network
path (\\servername\foldername\image.jpg) or virtual directory
(../foldername/image.jpg) within my application.

When I moved the app to a test server (Server B), it still works fine.

However, when the same codebase is run on a pilot server (Server C), it
somehow returns false when File.Exists() is executed. Same target, same
code.

Server A, B, and C are all Windows 2003 and the remote server is
Windows 2000. The target directory has Everyone to have full
permission.

What factors can affect file access on a remote server? I tried playing
with IIS, file system, etc but couldn't figure out.

Let me know if any of you has any suggestion.

Thanks in advance!
