Permission problem

Hi
I am trying to download the PDF files from my webserver using ASP.Net.
All my files are stored at F Drive on webserver. Like this F:\Main
Folder\Sub Folder\user folder\files\File1.pdf
I am impersonating the domain user account and downloading the file, It
seems the impersonate is got success.
If I gave full control to that user folder, its allowing me to download the
file.
BUT, If I gave read&execute permisson to that folder, its asking me the
windows username and password window for dowload the file.
My client doesn't need that windows checking. we already given the read &
execute permission to that folder, then why its asking the windows user name
and password window?
any idea please.
thanks
balaIs it possible that a temporary file is being created somewhere and that is
demanding greater permissions?

Permission to access PDF files from ASP.NET

Hi All,

My web app requires to access a PDF document. However it will not open when
I start to access it using Process.Start("fileName"). Although at the task
manager, it says that the Acrobat service has been started by ASPNET. Is
there something I did wrong or have not done? Pls help.

You want to open a PDF on the *server*??

Process.Start will open only local (that is: local *to the server*)
processes and will open them on the *invisible* desktop of the ASPNET user.

If you want to open that PDF file on the *client*, you need to send
that file to the client:
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=myfile.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.WriteFile("myLocalFile.pdf");
Response.End();
