My Service is LocalSystem (can't be used user, because it must run on server)

If I use:

File.AppendAllText(@"\\10.0.20.1\Public\fld\file.txt", "Text");

I get this exception:

System.IO.IOException: The user name or password is incorrect.

I tried class from Simple-access-to-network-drive

using (NetworkShareAccesser.Access("10.0.20.1", @"ABC\\", @"ABC\\User123", "Password"))
{
    File.AppendAllText(@"\\10.0.20.1\Public\fld\file.txt", "Text");
}

But I got exception "The specified username is invalid".

Thanks.

Are you on a domain? – Matthew Whited Jul 24 '17 at 18:30
No... I'm not on domain. – user3772588 Jul 24 '17 at 18:32
That makes things more "fun". – Matthew Whited Jul 24 '17 at 18:35

Shouldn't you be using @"ABC\User123" instead of @"ABC\\User123"? No need to escape the \ since you are using the @ prefix on the string literal – Palamino Jul 24 '17 at 18:38
