Using mapped drives in ASP.NET is a hit and miss proposition. Use a UNC path instead: \\ServerName\ShareName\Folder\file.ext

Thanks a lot John, one last thing is, is it possible to do this on the network without domain?
Other than this, any other options to solve the same problem?

FYI, I have added following code into web.config file and gave permission for the remote machine folder for this domain user

<system.web>
<identity impersonate="true" userName="mydomain\myusername"
password="mypassword" />

If it is a peer-to-peer network, the you would need to make sure that all machines in question had local accounts with the same username and password.
