I recently built a program that parses a remote file from \some_server\c$\directory\file.xls and it works fine on my local machine as just a normal aspx page.

Then I put the program into web part form on my VM SharePoint server and I get this error: Access to the path ‘\some_server\c$\directory\file.xls’ is denied.

The file is shared to Domain\Authenticated Users so I am not sure why it would be denied? Is it possible my SharePoint is trying to call it with a local or network service account? How can I get it to read? Thank you.

  1. Salamander is right, SharePoint doesn’t run with trust to do this.

    Changing the trust level for SharePoint in it’s web.config from WSS_Medium to Full is the quick solution, but there are security implications..
