Hi Experts can u please guide me how to download a file which is in Network location( \\10.101.....)where we pass credentials OF particular server and downloading a file from that server to local Machine in asp.net Regards venu

On the local network? You can just use File.Open etc (any of the normal ways to read a file from System.IO), if you have permissions to read it. Remember that ASP.net runs as its own user, though, so setting up the network permissions might be tricky.

ya i dont have permissions to read it but i have a user name and password who has the permission to read so i have to pass this parameters in the code and to read the file

Getting network resources under a different user name is (on Windows anyway) pretty tricky. You'd probably do better asking your network admin for read permissions on that file.
