I would appreciate any help with the following error. I'd like to mention
that application works on my Dev server no problems at all but not on the 3d
party host server (they saying it's coding problem).

Is this a shared folder ? Most probably ASPNET worker cannot access the
folder.

Or maybe moved the file web.config so Access Rights arent inherited from
folder.

Try changing your authentication mode to "Windows"
