Hello all. Using ASP.Net(VB.Code

[Jabez3rd]

Hello all.

Using ASP.Net(VB.Code behind),I've created a FileSystemWatcher that is to reside on
Server A and monitor the activity of folder on Server B.

The application works fine with watcher.path set to C:\.
However, when I specify any other drive for the
watcher.path, I receive an error message telling me the
selected path is invalid.

On my local machine Server B is mapped as W:\. I've tried
using the physical path as in watcher.path = "W:\RFTest",
as well as attempting to use the URL. All attempts result
in the same tired error message.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Brian.

Is it possible that a drive could be write-protected, or that the root directory within your drive W:\ could not have write permssions enabled?

The error message you indicated is the common error thrown when trying to access an inaccessible drive.

Also, how are you mapping the path to Server B's drive? The specific path might be leading to your problem.
