.Net website create directory to remote server access denied
- by tmfkmoney
I have a web application that creates directories.
The application works fine when creating a directory on the web server, however, it does not work when it tries to create a directory on our remote fileserver.
The fileserver and the webserver are in the same domain.
I have created a local user in our domain, "DOMAIN\aspnet". The local user is on both servers.
I am running my .Net app pool under the domain user. I have also tried using windows impersonate in the web.config to run under the domain user.
I have verified that the domain user has full control to the remote directory. In an effort to debug this I have also given the "everyone" full control to the remote directory.
In an effort to debug this I have also added the domain user to the administrators group.
I have a simple .net test page on the web server to test this.
Through the test page I am able to read the directory on the file server and get a list of everything in it.
I am not able to upload files or to create directories on the file server.
Here's code that works:
var path = @"\\fileserver\images\";
var di = new DirectoryInfo(path);
foreach (var d in di.GetDirectories())
{
Response.Write(d.Name);
}
Here's code that doesn't work:
path = Path.Combine(path, "NewDirectory");
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
Here's the error I'm getting:
Access to the path '\fileserver\images\NewDirectory' is denied.
I'm pretty stuck on this. Any ideas?
