I have a web application hosted on the server's F:\www directory. I have images stored on the file system at E:\Images. I have the website shared thru IIS pointing to the F:\www directory.
1.) Should I create a virtual directory to share out the images on E:\Images?
2.) Should I just link to my images on E:\Images from my webapp using a web.config defined setting of <add key="images" value="E:\Images"/> ?
The problem is, when I do step 2, it works perfectly on my localhost dev environment. When I then push this site out to the webserver, and change my web.config's settings, the images are not appearing, even though the source to the images is correct - file///E:\Images\image1.jpg.
If I do step 1, and share out the images as a vroot, the images appear, except now I cannot run edit/delete/move images using functions like Directory.GetFiles().
I am having trouble with this. Option 1 fails me b/c I cannot edit/update/rename/move images. Option 2 fails me b/c the images will not appear in my website.
What should I do for this scenario? Do I have permissions issues? I gave the ASPNET account admin rights, and I still cannot call Directory.GetFiles(). Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello Alex,
The reason why option 2 doesnt work on the web server is because it will
be pushing out image hrefs such as file://e:/images/image1.jpg. Of course,
the client doesnt have this e: drive. :)
Make sure the ASPNET account actually has permissions to e:\images.
On a side note, why wouldnt you have images that the web application requires
underneath the web applications vroot? At that point, you should be able
to do anything you want.
