Hi Dewright,
As you mentioend that you encounter authenticaiton error and 404 error.
I'm a bit confused that whether you're doing the File.Exists check at
clientside app or server side asp.net web app? 404 error is a general
error when the client side request a server doucment on the server which
dosn't acutally exist. And if you're doing this in serverside (in asp.net
app's code), generally the ASP.NET's default process identity should have
the sufficient permission to perform this action. So would you provide some
fruther description on your scenario ?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| Humm...no idea.
|
| You might try to turn impersonatation on
