HttpWebRequest. GetResponse returns 404 No Found error

[warlord]

I have a windows client app that is trying to download a file from
a web server but I always get the following error when I call the
GetResponse method of the Request object.

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

When I run it against a website on my local machine everything works
perfectly, but not against the remote server. I'm sure it's a security
or permissions problem of some sort, but I'm not sure where to start.

The code I'm using is below.

Thanks in advance for any help.

HttpWebResponse Response;

//Retrieve the File
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest )HttpWebRequest .Create(url);
Request.Headers .Add("Translate : f");
Request.Credent ials = CredentialCache .DefaultCredent ials;

try
{
Response = (HttpWebRespons e)Request.GetRe sponse();
}
catch(WebExcept ion e)
{
//Handle the exception here
}
finally
{
Response.Close( )
}

Is the remote server an IIS 6.0 box? If so, is WebDAV enabled?
Does the URL requested actually exist?

Cheers

The web server is IIS 5.0, and the Url does exist. I can get to it via a
browser without any problems - it's just from within the windows app that it
isn't accessible.
