accessing files on a shared folder via IIS
- by Darkcat Studios
Im not sure if this suits stackexchange, serverfault or here... so i'll go with here for a start.
I'm having issues setting up a network share to be accessed by IIS, all I need to do is read/write files on the Other server.
We have 2 servers set up (Both 2008 R2 & IIS 7.5), one is the WEB server, which is externally accessible and NOT part of the domain.
We also have an Intranet server which has no internet connectivity and is part of the domain.
These 2 servers can talk to each other happily, I have the SQL server on the WEB server shared across to the intranet server so that the web content is editable from the intranet.
I can share a folder on the web server (say, wwwroot/Images/) and connect to it from the intranet server, even have it as a mapped drive (but i know thats not going to work for IIS to access it), So there seems not to be a connectivity issue.
I can also set up a Virtual folder in IIS on the Intranet server - this is where it gets annoying - I cant connect using pass-through authentication because there is no suitable user on the web server (which is not on the domain).
If i set up a user on the web server, eg Intranet_USR, and give it appropriate rights to the folder, files and share, i can connect, but only view folder contents in IIS, not read, although that user has read privileges!!
Any help much appreciated!
