I created an asp.net application in my machine and it has a functionality to create a text file on a remote machine I deployed on to a dev. server devServer and tried to execute my web app .. I get the error access to the path ..... is denied. I enabled windows athentication in the virtual directory. I tried all the possibilities even by adding everyone to the physical folder...(which is in another server. (filesServer) ) Can anyone tell me what exactly the issue.... I know that it is a permission issue.. but I doint know where I need to change the settings... the application is running under iuser_devServer account .. I checked the anonymous as well as windows authentication...
