Saving file to network location

Question

I have an application that has to save an uploaded file to 2 different servers for load balancing purpose. The first server (serv01) is the same server as the application that I'm building, so no problem. But when the code execute the upload process to the second server (serv02) using the following path;

\\serv02\path\path\

I get this exception "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.".

I suppose I have to add permission to asp.net user on the serv01 to this network location, but how? If I tried to add permission, it always asks users from serv02. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Are you running in a workgroup or a domain?

If a workgroup then setup the same account that your using for your AppPool account on both servers (matching username & password) so that workgroup networking will work.

If it's a domain it should just be a case of configuring your AppPool to use a domain user account that has permissions to write to the share on each server.
