.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2007Displaying PDF file on ASP.net Page
using VB.net (VB 2005) ASP.net 2.0 on windows 2003 server Dim strPDFFilePath AS string = "\\webserverhostname\d$\foldername \filename" the following code is diving me an error saying access denied Response.ClearContent() Response.ClearHeaders() Response.ContentType = "Application/PDF" Response.WriteFile(strPDFFilePath) Response.Flush() Response.Close() Response.End() Account under which ASP.net is running have read, browser access to d: drive and the folder in which file resides. I guess it has something to do with drive name in the path? Is there a way you can use Server.Mappath to map a different drive (website is hosted on c: and file is on a different drive d: on the same server)? AFAIK $ shares access is only allowed to administrative accounts. I would create my own application specific share (remember you have also to apply the appropriate rights to the share plus it's likely better to avoid sharing the drive root). --- Patrice > using VB.net (VB 2005) ASP.net 2.0 on windows 2003 server > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > (website is hosted on c: and file is on a different drive d: on the > same server)? Oups. I saw by reading again that files are actually on drive d: on the *same*machine . You could perhaps just use the drive letter ie. d:\MyWebApps\ThisWebApp\TheFileWant.pdf ? and use a config setting to point to the root location for this application files... -- Patrice > AFAIK $ shares access is only allowed to administrative accounts.
