Web Request error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Any ideas?

Question

I am trying to write a file to a network drive from my asp.Net application and i get this error - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. Any ideas?

I am able to write to a local drive line C:/temp But when I try to save the file to a network drive such as \Server\Folder, I get the error mentioned above.

Any ideas people?

Answer 1

asp.net is running under specific user name, and probably this user name did not have permissions to access this directory.

Answer 2

.NET Impersonation did the trick for me. THanks guys!!
