please check the link, it will provide information about how to use user name and password to access the network location with the use of WindowsIdentity Impersonate

original post on stack overflow is in VB, i have converted it to c# as below..

C#

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Security.Principal;
using System.Security.Permissions;
public class Form1
{
	[DllImport("advapi32.DLL", SetLastError = true)]
	public static extern int LogonUser(string lpszUsername, string lpszDomain, string lpszPassword, int dwLogonType, int dwLogonProvider, ref IntPtr phToken);
	private void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
		IntPtr admin_token = default(IntPtr);
		WindowsIdentity wid_current = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
		WindowsIdentity wid_admin = null;
		WindowsImpersonationContext wic = null;
		try {
			MessageBox.Show("Copying file...");
			if (LogonUser("Local Admin name", "Local computer name", "pwd", 9, 0, ref admin_token) != 0) {
				wid_admin = new WindowsIdentity(admin_token);
				wic = wid_admin.Impersonate();
				System.IO.File.Copy("C:\\right.bmp", "\\\\157.60.113.28\\testnew\\right.bmp", true);
				MessageBox.Show("Copy succeeded");
			} else {
				MessageBox.Show("Copy Failed");
			}
		} catch (System.Exception se) {
			int ret = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
			MessageBox.Show(ret.ToString(), "Error code: " + ret.ToString());
			MessageBox.Show(se.Message);
		} finally {
			if (wic != null) {
				wic.Undo();
			}
		}
	}
}

please modify code as per your requirement to create log file over network location
