possible to access virtual directory without impersonation?

3 New Member
Hello,
My problem is as follows:
I am using IIS 5.1 with .net 1.1
I have a shared folder on a different computer on our network which I want to add as a virtual directory on my computer so that I can use

<!--#include virtual="virtua lDirectoryName/someFile.html" -->

the problem is that I can only gain access to this virtual folder from my asp page when i set impersonate="tr ue" and set the explicit user to gain access to the virtual folder in my web.config. I dont want to explicitly have to hardcode a user and password into this. When I create the virtual directory on my computer I tried to set the username to MYCOMPUTERNAME\ ASPNET however an error icon appeared next to the virtual directory listing in IIS management console.
Does this make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

-Charlie

If you just check anonymous access in iis does this do the trick?

Well, I feel like a fool but I figured it out this morning. Apparently, I needed to set the anonymous access user name of the parent directory to the name that was authorized to access the virtual directory.

Hi Guys, I'm stuck with a terribly persistant "Access to the path *** is denied" problem. I'm trying to upload a foile using the file control. The code checks if a file of the same name as uploaded exists and if so, attempts to delete the file and then uploads the new file. <STRONG> Dim myFile As File

I am experiencing difficulty access a mapped network drive in an ASP.NET application. While using the .Net framework v 1.1 implementation of System.IO.Directory.Exists(), it fails to recognize a mapped network drive. This is true if the path specified uses a mapped drive letter or is expressed as a UNC address. I have also tried the drive letter and UNC paths with and without trailing backslashes, respectively.

Hi I have been asked to migrate a long-standing and stable asp.net application from a W2k server on one NT domain on our intranet to another W2k server on another NT domain also on our intranet. The application was written in C#.NET using Visual Studio 2002 and v1.0 of the .NET Framework. As we don't use Frontpage extensions on the servers (both run IIS5) I have used Xcopy to copy the files from the original server across the WAN to...

Is there any other solution for an ASPNET application to access network resources other than running as SYSTEM, using delegation (a nightmare to get to work) or the COM+ solution? I cannot seem to impersonate a user and obtain network credentials using the DuplicateTokenEx call with appropriate parameters even though the call seems to not fail. I check my identity has changed but can only still do local commands. I would consider...

I have an ASP.NET app that must allow users to upload files. The files are stored in a virtual directory. I use Server.MapPath to map from the virtual directory name to a physical path, then the FileUpload control SaveAs method to upload and save the file. This all works fine when the virtual directory points to a local drive on the ASP.NET server. However, when pointing to a remote drive (which is what my client wants to do), I get...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
