    Download file from different server than IIS

    I am trying to use asp to download a file located on a different
    server. I can use ADODB.Stream, LoadFromFile(\\ Server\Somethin g) and
    the Response.Binary Write successfully, but only if I create an
    IUSR_XXXX account on the other machine. What other alternatives do
    I have, or is this the best method? Could I use a com object that ran
    as a valid user on the other server to copy the file back to the IIS
    server? Thanks in advance.

      Are the two servers, the two being the IIS server and the file server, in a
      domain? If so, you can use a domain account as replacement to the default
      IUSR account on your IIS server, and give that account rights to the file
      share on the file server. That is another option. For more detailed info,
      read this article. http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2168

          Thanks for the link. The servers are in the same domain. Sounds like
          synchronizing the anonymous user accounts on the two machines is the
          way to go.

              Since they're in a domain, I personally would probably use a domain account
              for the anonymous access instead of the local IUSR account. Synchronizing
              local accounts on computers is something I'd only ever resort to for any
              reason if I were ever unfortunate enough to be stuck in a workgroup
              environment. But that's just me. :]
