Does anyone know why I'd get "Could not find a part of the path" and
"Incorrect login" errors when I attempt to call the
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles routine?

I've taken off anonymous access (meaning that I'd HAVE to be authenticated
with my domain credentials since that's how I'm logged in) and it still
bombs out when I attempt to run this routine with the path

\\MYSERVER\MyShare

Thanks,
Russ

P.S. Yes, my user account DOES have full control over that share.

Hi Russ,


That error means that the process that .Net is =
running as (usually as MACHINENAME\ASPNET) does not have permissions on =
that share.

So if your machine name was test you would have a =
local user called test\aspnet that user needs to have permission on the =
share but because on a MS network you can not give a local user rights =
on a remote share trying to give text\aspnet rights on the share would =
not work so, what you need to do is give a specific user(domain user) =
rights to the folder (at least read if you want to get the attributes =
or write to create the file) Then you would use impersonation in your =
web.config(You need to specify Domain username and password) or use an =
example from Ambrose Little (very good impersonation example but you =
have to get hold of him on this Newsgroup some how) that calls some =
API's to your page and impersonates the user.

Once you have impersonated the user you then have =
that domain users rights on the folder you are trying to reach.


Hope you come right.


Carlos
