I can't access unc path from C#. Getting access is denied

I'm using Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.5 I'm trying to access a file this way: \server\C$\temp\testFile.log from C# code running on another server.

My username is an admin on both servers. The code is running under that account. The temp folder has been set to full rights for (my user) and ASP.NET.

Why can't I access it?

I can't do a shared folder; against the rules. I am already running under full account; therefore, I don't need to do impersonation, right?

Solution

  • Is this a web app? Are you sure the app is impersonating your account? Is anonymous access set to true in IIS?
