Question

I have a network share in the intranet that allows write access to everyone (guest)

So, i wrote a program (mojoportal module, anyway it’s the same, i think) in c# that writes some files in that path, and in visual studio works great.

Now, using the same program in IIS 7.5, does not work, i get this exception:

System.Net.WebException: An exception
occurred during a WebClient request.
—> System.IO.IOException – Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password.

Well… since the access on the smb share is granted to everybody, i don’t understand why it does not work on IIS…

The code is this:

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadFile(urltodownload, smbshare);

What it can be?
Thanks

Your IIS service not granted to access file share by default. You could try run your site with app pool identity set to Local System, or manually control the identity under which code is executed from web.config:

<system.web>
  <identity impersonate="true" userName="user with correct rights or admin" password="password"/>
