permission to File.Exists

[Marcos MOS]

Hi,

In my Web Application, I need to check whether a file exists. I'm using the
System.IO.File.Exists("filename") method.
This file is in another server.
Always the return's method is False. But through the windows explorer I have
permission to access it. So Can I do?

thanks a lot

Most likely the default ASPNET user account does not have network security
privileges.
To test this theory, use impersonation to have the web application run under
your user account.
