    You can still use the ASPNET account if you like but you must define a
    static password for the account on both machines. Both machines must also
    use the same pwd for this account. If the other machine (the one you have
    defined the fileshare on) does not have .NET installed, you must still
    define an ASPNET user and password on the machine, with access to the
    directory acting as the file share.

    On your web server, you can define a static password for the ASPNET account
    in your machine.config file.

    You can also use a totally different account, either way you must have the
    same username/pwd combination on both machines. Obviously, it would be best
    to only limit the user to read access to the minimum amount of information
    on the other fileserver.
