Get file to FileStream from remote path with another user credentials

Question

In my application I use FileStream to read from a file, that is on the fileshare somewhere in the network. So my remoteFilePath variable is somethi

Answer 1

Thank you for your answers. Since the share was in another domain, it was not so easy to impersonate.

I found another, easier solution. I mapped a network drive, and checked the option Connect using different credentials. Then I connect to this drive instead of the remote path.

string mappedFilePath = filePath.Replace(@"\\computername\", @"Y:\")

and use this new string in FileStream constructor.

Answer 2
