    Posted: 13 May 2005 at 12:16pm
I'm developing an application in asp.net on my web server.  It will be used to display the status of the fax log files on a Castelle fax server.  How can I open these log files on the fax server from my web server?  I'm running windows 2003 server.  I can map the drive on the web server to the fax server.  Can I create a Virtual Directory or an alias??  Any help is appreciated!

I would not map a dirve, becuase you would have to map it for the Netowk Service account unless you use Windows Authentication, either way it would have to be mapped for those accounts. I would share the director of the logfiles on the server and access it that way like
\\catelle\logfiles
Use this path in IO and you should be fine.
