I have problem writing content to a UNC file from my ASP.NET 1.1
application. This is on Windows server 2003
The event log says "X:\temp\abc.txt path not found" and stuff.

Note that I have allowed Full Control permission on abc.txt on the other
machine.

any idea?

thanks,
Vince

That is not a UNC path but a mapped drive. Since asp.net runs in its own
profile - the mappings you have done interactively are not known.

Use a UNC path like \\server\share...
