I am trying to create a directory on a remote server in my network and I
keep getting the following error : "Could not find a part of the path"

Code looks like this:

Dim lobjFileDirectory As Directory

lobjFileDirectory.CreateDirectory(lstrDBFilePath & "Uploads\" &
gstrICcode + "\Upload")

Where lstrDBFilePath is a string set to my remote server,
\\someserver\fileshare\

The permissions on that share is everyone set to full control but I
still can't create the directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren,


That error is not what is says it is ( :)_ ) trust me =
I have been through this.


What in actual fact its saying is that the username =
your app is running as does not have permissions to create a dir on =
that remote server.

Give a user perm on that share and then use =
impersonation to impersonate that user in your app and you should have =
no problem then /.

Let me know if it works!

 Carlos Magalhaes

Who should I give access to the share? I am running IIS locally and I
am trying to save uploaded files to my database server. I created a
share on my local machine that points to a folder on the database. When
I try to add a new user to the share, the only users I am able to select
from are the users on my database machine. For example, I thought I had
to add the aspnet user to be able to access this share and I am unable
to choose that user as he resides on my machine and not the database
machine. I have added the following code to my web.config <identity
impersonate="true" />.

Thanks for you help,

Darren

A better way to explain this is that I am trying to access the share as
anonymous, I will not be doing this in an intranet and need the ability
for internet users to access the share and upload files to it.
Therefore I cannot access the users windows logon credentials and pass
them via impersonation to the share and check permissions on it. I will
be making my users log onto the site but I will check them against a
database to see if they are valid users then they will be able to upload
files to my remote server, not the web server, which works fine but I
need the ability to upload to a remote server.

Thanks,

Darren

This worked and here is what I had to do.

I had to set up a share on a folder on the remote server for where I
wanted to save my files to and give permissions to the user that I want
to impersonate on it.

I put the following in my web.config

<identity impersonate="true" username="someuser" password="somepass"/>.

I granted 'someuser' read/write permissions on the my remote servers
share

And then I save files to or create directories to a path using the UNC
name of the remote server like so:

Dim lstrFilePath as String

lstrFilePath = \\remoteservername\sharename
<file:///\\remoteservername\sharename>

Thanks for you help, this one seems easy now but was difficult until I
knew what levers had to be pulled to make it work.

Thanks,

Darren
