Copy file on a network shared drive
Untested code, but it will be similiar to:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal);
// http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/advapi32/LogonUser.html
IntPtr token;
LogonUser("username", "domain", "password", LogonType.LOGON32_LOGON_BATCH, LogonProvider.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT);
WindowsIdentity identity = new WindowsIdentity(token);
WindowsImpersonationContext context = identity.Impersonate();
try
{
File.Copy(@"c:\temp\MyFile.txt", @"\\server\folder\Myfile.txt", true);
}
finally
{
context.Undo();
}
Here's a working example for ASP.NET applications. Original source
private void SendToFileShare(byte[] pdfData, string fileName)
{
if(pdfData == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("pdfData");
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fileName))
{
//Assign a unique name because the programmer failed to specify one.
fileName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
}
else
{
//Should probably replace special characters (windows filenames) with something.
}
string networkShareLocation = @"\\your\network\share\";
var path = $"{networkShareLocation}{fileName}.pdf";
//Credentials for the account that has write-access. Probably best to store these in a web.config file.
var domain = "AB";
var userID = "Mr";
var password = "C";
if (ImpersonateUser(domain, userID, password) == true)
{
//write the PDF to the share:
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, report);
undoImpersonation();
}
else
{
//Could not authenticate account. Something is up.
//Log or something.
}
}

More simple and modern approach. Works for me in an enterprise network.
