Solution 1

There are two cases:
1.If the remote folder is in your local network (LAN), that folder must be shared in the LAN in the way that your user must have Read right to access it.

2.If the folder is over the internet, than that folder must be into a virtual-directory (in IIS) and has public access. For example if that folder is a sub-folder of a ASP.NET application then should have the next setting in the web.config to allow access:

XML

<!--
   Make Content folder accessible to all users!
  -->
  <location path="Content">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

Voted 4. There are many other ways to provide access to files, except IIS: any other HTTP server, active directory, FTP, and so on.
If you just explained that the ways you can suggest are not related to RDP, it would suffice.

You're right, but the question was related with C# and .NET, and in the Microsoft world the IIS is used.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 13-Mar-14 2:46am

IIS? No. In Microsoft word, different things are used. I'm not sure, maybe Apache is more usual even on Microsoft. I mean, anyway, nothing makes an excuse for mentioning just IIS. And, more importantly, HTTP is not the only way.
