Hi

I have this situation where I need to upload a file to the server which is not web-server where the application relies, because my web servers are in the cluster and if the user uploads some file to one of ther web-servers the file wouldn't appear in another web server. Can I somehow upload a file to another machine and then just setting a hyperlink to it there. Is there any solution doing that? Or should I try something else in this situation? I will appreciate help of any kind

Thanks

Peter
 
Creating a virtual path on both server that points to the same network share
should work.

In some cases, you could also save the file directly on a network share and
have an ASPX page streaming the file content for downloads (it avoids having
these files directly available on the Internet).

sure, as long as you have UNC access to a \\server\share you should be able
to use this as the "save" path relative to the WWW server.
