In my ASP.NET application, all the images files are stored on a machine other
than my web-server. In a webform i am accessing the image files stored in
that folder in the remote machine. Folder path is configurable in the
web.config file. The webserver and the folder machine in the same network.
I am not able to access that foler. What is the shortest way to do this. So
that i should able to access the images files from the remote machine.

Rajesh,
The easiest way to solve this problem is -Mirrored Account.

If you are using ASPNET (local on web server) account to run the ASP.NET
application, create another ASPNET(local on file server) account on the
file/remote server with strong password. You must change the password to run
the ASP.NET on web server in the machine.config (<ProcessModel> element) to
macth the paswords.

You can get additional details at -

This was a perfect solution for me since my file server and the web server
are located on two different domains. Hope this helps.
