    I am trying to copy a file to a network drive. I can do it on the
    domain controller/web server but not from a client. Here is the code:

        Dim impersonationContext As
    System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext
        Dim currentWindowsIdentity As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity
        currentWindowsIdentity =
    CType(User.Identity,System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)
        impersonationContext = currentWindowsIdentity.Impersonate()
        dim Temp as string="TestFile"
        File.Copy("\\MyServer\Template.doc", "\\MyServer\" & Temp &".doc")

        impersonationContext.Undo()

    I get the error "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file
    \\Server\File..." when running it from the [authenticated] client
    browser. I searched everywhere on the web and MSDN on this error but found
    nothing. The error it occurs on the file copy statement The file.copy
    statement is trying to copy a file on a different server than the web
    server.

    Any help is appreciated.
