If you map a drive direct from a machine and it fails then likley you have not got the network access to do this.<br />
<br />
Look at this first before loooking at your application.<br />
<br />
Can you ping that machine?<br />
What firewall restrictiosn do you have to that machine?<br />
Can other amchines on your network access that machine?<br />
<br />
445 is the port used to access machines for fiel copy/exploration Make sure this is opened up.<br />

I can open the mapped drive in windows explorer, just not from IIS

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have an application written in C# MVC hosted on IIS 7.0 (Server 2008) and are trying to write files to another network server.<br />
<br />
I have tried mapping a drive and writing to that drive, which has failed. &nbsp;I have tried using my credendtials and saving those in the mapping process which has also failed. &nbsp;Accessing the other server by name or by IP has failed as well.<br />
<br />
In reading hundreds of articles it is apparent the method desired by Microsoft is to store the files on the same box. &nbsp;We cannot do that due to a legacy system. &nbsp;We have to use the other server in order to store these files.<br />
<br />
Surely one of you experts have come across this? &nbsp;Please help; our deadline is in 6 days...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

IIS 7.0 using network drive to access files

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
