How to pass credentials during writting file at server path?

How do I save a file into a shared folder of a server from my WPF and C# application. I have the IP and the credentials of the server and have given Read/Write permission to the shared folder.

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal);
            WindowsIdentity identity = new WindowsIdentity(username, password);
            WindowsImpersonationContext context = identity.Impersonate();

            try
            {
                File.Copy(@"d:\MyFile.txt", @"\\1.2.3.4\CopyData\Myfile.txt", true);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {                    
                context.Undo();
            }

Getting the following exception :

"The name provided is not a properly formed account name."

what is the server name try running `PING -A 1.2.3.4` what is the real server name or IPAddress..? – MethodMan Jan 16 '13 at 10:12
the server is up and running and pingable. I can easily login with the credentials onto the server. The folder too has the read and write permission for the user. – HotTester Jan 16 '13 at 10:14

Are you in a domain? What syntax do you use for username? – paparazzo Jan 16 '13 at 14:00
The second param in WindowsIdentity constractor is not a password - https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/0dsd0tkz(v=vs.110).aspx – Kate Mar 15 '16 at 10:24
