UNC path in web.config
<p>I created a set of ASP pages which receive HTTP requests. Some of these requests pull data from a database, and few of them open text files to get info.  My path to these text files are pretty straight-forward on my web server, and I refer to these in my <code>web.config</code> as below in the <code>appSettings</code> node.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;add key="MasterPath" value="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\VecoXtra\" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>However, my client (who is going to use this) has set up my scripts on their server but wants to use a UNC path to these files, and the process stops when changing it to:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;add key="MasterPath" value="\\10.10.6.2\euro$\INETPUB\VeXtra\StaticFiles\" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I read somewhere to double up the slashes, but to no avail, as I think there are some permissions issues here.  I tried identity in my config and adding my windows administrator login to the application pool but nothing allows me to access these files.</p>
