  ASPNet service account by default doesn't have right to Network resources. You can give the account the rights which is not recommended for security or use impersonation just to read/write files from Netwrk. Following link discusses all the options in detail .....

  Thanks Jawad,I dont want to do it run time so i just tried  to give the rights to the aspnet account.
  
  First i included the aspnet in the admins group but no success.i was still not able to write any files on  other machine in the network.
  
  Then i changed the web config file with this information
  
  <system.web>
  
  

  <identity

  impersonate="false"

  userName="domainname\username"

  password="password" />
  
  </syetem.web>
  
  but still its saying that access to the path is denied but using this username and password i can access the  network machine.
  
  
  Also i tried to check the value for user.identity.name but its not showing me anything.
  
  Any help on this pls
