access files from remote server

Hi I have an asp.net web application. I am trying to access files from remote server (on local network) and unfortunately it isn’t working out. Problem is I am not sure if the error is cos the path mentioned isn’t correct or is this a problem with iis7 permissions. I have set <identity impersonate="true"... in web.config file.
Below is the code i am trying to access :

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + document.FileName);
Response.ContentType = document.ContentType;
String filepath = "\\<server-name>\<shared folder>\file.txt";
Response.WriteFile(filepath);
Response.End();

I have tried every possible combination of filepath string. Nothing works. Please help.

I would say its permissions.
The server computer needs to have access to that remote file server. And I believe its IUSR_PLATERDELL (or ASPNET) is the user account that needs access permissions to the share.
