Hi,

I'm trying to get files (.tif) from another server (an iSeries with
fileshare) that I'm going to show from my web app. But I get file access
error.

Is it any way to log on to that file server from an asp.net app?

Hi JIK,

You might want to create a domain account, set your aspnet app to run with
its credentials and give the account enough privleges.
Or create a local account on both computers with same name/password on both
computers and do the same as above.
 
Thanx, but I have tried that - without any luck.

I changed username and password in IIS admin for the web-abb. And the
username/password is the same on the fileserver...

Is it possible to make a mapping for the application, or for the server? Or
maybe logon to that fileserver with any fil class in .net?

See if the following MS KB article helps. The situation should be similar if not the same:
