That's a bit short, but... make sure that your ASPNET process has read 
(or read-write, depending what you do) to that file. Remember that 
ASP.NET doesn't run under the currently logged-in user, but has its own 
account.

HTH,

thanks for the reply
sorry for such a short post



actually i was writing a webservice to read a text file from the
server.........i am shering the code. On executing the code from a
client pc the error is generated What can be the possible reason also
how to give the ASP.NET permissions.


[WebMethod]
		public string CheckVersion()//
		{
			try
			{
				string VerServer="";
				string VerClient="";



				System.IO.TextReader trServer = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"\
\172.21.142.228\Downloaded Software\Downloads\VersionServer.txt");
				VerServer = trServer.ReadLine();
				trServer.Close();

				System.IO.TextReader trClient = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\PRP
\VersionClient.txt");
				VerClient = trClient.ReadLine();
				trClient.Close();

				if(VerServer!=VerClient)
				{
//					System.Net.WebClient Wclt = new System.Net.WebClient();
//                    Wclt.Credentials = netCred;
//					Wclt.DownloadFile(@"http://fsdgurgaon:8000/FileSystems/
DownloadItem.aspx?filepath=E:\Downloaded Software\Downloads
\PRPSetup.msi",@"C:/PRP/PRPSetup.msi");

//					System.IO.TextWriter twrClient = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:
\PRP\VersionClient.txt");
//					twrClient.WriteLine(VerServer);
//					twrClient.Close();

					status = "true";

					return(status);
				}
				else
				{
					status = "false";
					return(status);
				}
			}
			catch(Exception	Ex)
			{
				status = Ex.Message.ToString();
				return(status);
			}
		}
