Is it possible to configure an ASP.NET application under IIS 7 so it can read files stored in a mapped network drive? I'm not trying to serve up the contents of the drive. I simply need to read the contents within the ASP.NET application. I've searched the Web and haven't really found a solid answer. The questions in my mind are:

  1. Is this possible via configuration (i.e. I cannot modify the client code)?
  2. If so, what are the step by step instructions.

If it is not possible, I'm fine with that. I already know UNC paths work but using them drastically changes the work flow.

Thanks!
