Answer 1

to solved this issue add:

    app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
    FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider("\\\\192.168.1.234\\Arc\\Uploaded\\"),
     
});

this work fine in debug mode, in publish gives this error:

HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start

5. Select the custom account -> set...
6. insert user name: <machinename> and related password
7. ok , ok ,ok ...
