File.Move UNC

[Bill Young via .NET 247]

I'm having all sorts of problems trying to move a file across the network using the File.Move command with a computer on the network. I have tried doing it with \\<server>\<share> and I tried mapping a drive but I still get the same error.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "M:\home.wav" is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)
at System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName)
at WatchFolder.Form1.ProtectandServe(String fp) in c:\files\c#\vmwatcher\form1.cs:line 147

line 147 is

File.Move(fp,sp);

where fp =c:\wavs\home.wav
and
sp = m:\home.wav or
\\w2k3\messages\home.wav

What "user context" is the application running in? Is this an ASP.NET application? You are running into a permissions issue (duh, I know.) but the hard part is figuiring out what permissions need to be granted and to whom. You might try authentication.assert but this carries some consequences for security as well..
