My web application resides in server X. In my requirement I need to upload files to a specific folder ("folderY") from server Y. I have no problem in uploading files to the same webserver. In order to upload files to server Y, I created a virtual directory mapped to "folderY". when I finish the mapping, I see error symbol next to it.

Username and password are different for both the servers. Does this have any impact on this issue.

I am stuck in this for 2 days and I would really appreciate If somebody could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mals,

How did you map the virtual directory? It sounds to me like there is a permissions problem there, and that is why you can't upload to that other server. Can your web application save the file to \\server\share\etc instead?

You'll need to give everyone write access on the share, which is dangerous, especially if that server is sitting on a open network.

Thanks PEte,

well, for testing purpose, I have given all permissions to the folder I am trying to access. But I am not successful in mapping it. I tried all possible access and I still see error symbol next to it.

I am wondering, is there a way to upload files to dif server without mapping as virtual directory?
Actually my requirement is, based on the user option, the file should be uploaded to selected server.

Thanks in advance.
