I have seen a number of entries related to accessing remote resources (files
in my case) that need to reside on a remote server. We must leave our files
on a remote server due to their size. All of the solutions that I have run
across have used impersonation with some type of windows or forms based
security in the ASP.NET application. Our application does not require user
authentication so we use never collect usernames and passwords. The
application trying to access the remote resource is a webservice but I do
not want to grant the entire web service access to the remote resource.

Is there a way to set full access to a particular remote resource directory
that the ASPNET user has access to or a way to specify a username and
password at runtime when I access the remote resource?

Thanks,

Tim
