access server side files - outside of virual directory

How can I access files on the server that are outside of the virtual
directory of the web application.
More Information:

File located here: C:\MyFiles

I am assuming you are running onto a permissions issue? You need to grant
whatever user the asp.net process is running under rights to the
directories/files you want to be able to access from your web app.
