Streamwriter issue with remote machine - network name cannot be found

Question

I am trying to create a file on the remote machine but I am getting this error:

The network name cannot be found

I checked the network path and I was able to access the path from my machine. Could you please let me know what could be wrong?

Here is my code:

using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("\\\\servername\\TEST1\\TEST\\NEWFILE.csv", true)) {
    sw.WriteLine(sw);
}

Answer 1

Go to \\servername\TEST1 and give write permission to the user or ASP.NET (if you have a web application) on the test folder and then re-run your program, and it will work.

To give write permissions, just refer to this article:
How to share a folder/File

In case it still does not work, try replacing the server name with the server IP address and do the same as stated above.

Answer 2

Give the access rights to the user under which this application runs either it is a IIS pool or windows service etc
