Access to the path is denied

Question

I am currently creating a folder and writing a file to the folder that need to be create on a file server that we have. When i do a localhost test, it work perfectly but when i access the website from outside the localhost and from another pc. It said that

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'My File Server URL' is denied

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

But the thing is that i have already set the identity impersonate="true" in the web.config and it still didn't work. My web server is running on Winder Server 2003 and IIS 6

Any advice and help will be deeply appreciated

Thanks Brandon

// Insert the create code here
ctx.Undo();
