I have an ASP.NET application which I am testing on the ASP.NET Development server. The application is meant to download a file from an intranet sharepoint site. I am using WebClient.DownloadFile() for this purpose. But I am getting the following exception-

“The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.”

The account with which I am logged into Windows while running the application has access to the resource which I want to download.

I tried ro run the application on IIS 7.5 as well, giving the application pool the required identity to download the file. But still got the same error.

Any idea what exactly is the problem and how to overcome it? Thanks in advance!
