Accessing files and folders on remote server in webApplication

[Z0gS]

Hi

I got this problem for the web application

I try to access folders on a remote server. string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(@"E:\vehicles")
E drive is a map to a network drive. I get the DirectoryNotFoundException. How do I solve the problem or the is another way to write the code

Thank you

You need to access the network folder using UNC path. Drive letter is
mapped based on the interactive user (The user that is currently
logged on to the machine). The default of an ASP.NET web application
runs under the "ASPNET" user, which does not have the "E" drive letter
mapped.

For example,

Directory.GetDirectories(@"\\Remote server name\vehicles");
