i have a asp.net application which upload a file. i want to save the uploaded file on a remote server on the domain. this is my script:

        Dim plc As Integer
        plc = textbox1.PostedFile.FileName.LastIndexOf("\")
        plc = Len(clientFile.PostedFile.FileName) - plc - 1
        Dim ofile As String = Right(clientFile.PostedFile.FileName, plc)
        Dim filepath As String = "\\serverName\TempLib" & ofile
        clientFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(filepath)

i got the error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "..." is denied.
in the web.config i have <identity impersonate ="true">
the library on the remote server has permission to the user.

thanks for anyone who can help me on this problem.

It sounds like you're impersonating the identitity coming to you from IIS. What are the setttings on IIS - is it passing you the true credentials of a user on your Windows network, or is it passing you it's own identity (normally IUSR_machinename)?

IUSR_machinename is a low priviledge account, similar to ASPNET.
