Need help with writing a file to a Network path (UPN)

pxpilot

HELP!
I know there's a lot of urls out there, please don't reply with a
link.
I have tried them all but i guess i am missing something.

I have 2 servers on the same network, my ASP.NET runs on Server1 and
need to write RSS to a Server2
Something like this:
Dim enc As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
Dim objXMLTW As New XmlTextWriter(" \\Server2\wwwro ot\SiteRoot
\rss.xml", enc)
objXMLTW.WriteS tartDocument()
objXMLTW.WriteS tartElement("rs s")
objXMLTW.WriteE lementString("B lah", "Blah Blah Blah")
objXMLTW.WriteE ndDocument()
objXMLTW.Flush( )
objXMLTW.Close( )

I have tried:
* added <identity impersonate="tr ue"/to web.config (in Server1)
* added Full Control to Server1\ASPNET Server1\IUSR_Se rver1
Server1\IWAM_Se rver1
* created virtual directory on Server1 and tried both "Connect As"
options

I keep getting "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."

Ideas?

re:

That's not enough.

You need to give write permissions to the account ASP.NET is running as,
so ASP.NET's impersonated account can write to Server2.

Generally, that is done by having ASP.NET impersonate
a domain account which has access to both servers.

<identity impersonate="tr ue"
userName="domai n\accountname"
password="someP assword" />

Mind you, after you do that you'll need to grant access permission
to a bunch of directories on Server1 to that account.

Here's the ACL list to the required directories :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kwzs111e.aspx

You can shortcut by using this command line from the .Net 2.0 directory on Server1
*after* you configure the domain\accountn ame which ASP.NET will be impersonating,
in web.config:

aspnet_regiis -ga domain\accountn ame

Verify that the permissions have been applied
to the whole directory list after you issue the command.

Also, of course, you'll have to grant write permission to the network share on Server2
to the domain account ASP.NET is now impersonating, which will be accessing the
network share on Server2.

Compiling db2uext2.cdisk with Cygwin gcc

by: Norm Wong | last post by:

If anyone is interested in using db2uext2 with Cygwin gcc compiler on Windows, I've modified the IBM provided sample with the attached file. There are two main modifications. The mkdir command is the POSIX compliant version as opposed to the MicroSoft C compiler. The second parameter to mkdir is the file mode. In this case, I've made the directories created to be read/write/execute(list) for all users.

How to use File.Exists and Handle Insufficient Permissions

by: Chris Fink | last post by:

I am using the System.IO.File class to determine if a file exists on a network share. The File.Exists method keeps returning false, even though the file does exist. The MSDN documentation states, "If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to read the specified file, no exception is thrown and the method returns false regardless of the existence of path."
