.NET
|system.io.directory
I am executing a IO.Directory.Exists
on a network share from an ASP.NET application running under a specific Application Pool with a specific user account.
The call always returns true.
I have tried several variations:
\\server\share$\directory
\\192.168.0.1\share$\directory
H:\directory
I have checked that directory and share permissions are available to the account.
The path does have spaces in it \\server\share$\directory\name name\test test
, which should make no difference, however I have read otherwise.
I will continue to check permissions, as it does work from my local machine (with the built in VS web-server and I am an administrator on the network), but when deployed to the IIS 6.0 virtual directory, and run under the Application Pool, it does not work.
