Directory permission for disk I/O from web service

[Milop]

Hello.

I have an ASP.Net 2.0 web service on Win2003 server that needs to write to a
shared directory on the same machine.

The web.config file is using "None" as the authentication mode.

I am referencing the directory using UNC naming (\\WEBSERVER\Folder\.....)

I thought the web service was going to run under the local ASPNET account,
so I gave ASPNET permissions, but that didn't work.

Unless I add "Everyone" under the permissions for "Sharing" the web service
cannot write to the folder, and I do not want to add "Everyone".

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

unc paths require network permission, so your pool account should be a
domain account.

In Win2003 ASP.NET runs under the "NetworkService" user account by default,
not the ASPNET user account. So try giving it permissions.
