When I am trying to move the file from one server to another, I am getting the above mentioned error.

System.IO.File.Copy(f1.Path, sToFld )

where f1.Path - source server

sToFld - destination server

I believe its happening since the user credentials are different for both the servers. I was thinking of impersoantion, but I am not sure if impersonation works for remote computer.

Thanks for help in advance.

Your directory entry needs a userid/password that can search the domain. Most probably it is using the IIS worker process. Get a set of credentials from the network group that you can set. The equvalent c# is

DirectoryEntry.Username =  ; DirectoryEntry.Password=

I don't think you need to load Property unless you are processing that seperately.

Also the syntax: sr.Properties("cn").Item(0).ToString is not correet.  There is no Item.

Simple: sr.Properties("cn").Value.ToString() should be.

Try adding worker process in your web project folder on IIS.

Remember you must be under the domain you are trying to access.

or

try passing credentials in your code.(for testing puporses)
