This question have been asked like million times, but I have tried those solutions and still can't find out why this error is coming up:
Access to the path '\server1\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\file1.dwg' is denied.
Here is the action which returns the error:
public ActionResult Download(string fileName)
{
fileName = fileName + ".dwg";
string path = Path.Combine(@"\\server1\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\", fileName);
return File(path, "application/octet-stream", fileName);
}
I have tried to giving permissions to "Folder3" for multiple usernames, for example "SERVER1\NETWORK SERVICE" – Full Control.
Application is running under Default Web Site. Application is running under DefaultAppPool and DefaultAppPool has identity of "NetworkService".
Following code gives identity "NETWORK SERVICE".
WindowsIdentity identity = HttpContext.Request.LogonUserIdentity;
The application was working fine (same download directory) on my own computer, but after deploying this problem showed up.
Server is running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and IIS 7.5.
