 I was hoping that someone can give me step-by-step instructions to fix the
following:

We would like our ASP.NET application to utilize a central file server for
uploads and downloads. I have tried creating a virtual directory to the
external file server on the web server and just referencing the virtual
directory when setting a hyperlink to download a file and everything seems to
work well until I attempt to implement an HTTPHandler (to secure non-asp file
types). I continue to receive an error that states "Failed to start
monitoring file changes" whenever I click a hyperlink to a file on the file
server. This is not an issue when the files are local to the web server (i.e.
the handler does work correctly). I know this has to be a security issue, but
I have tried everything I know to try. Thanks for any help offered.
