How to grant permissions to Network Service to write in a remote location

Question

I need to grant permissions to the Network Service account to write on a different machine on the same network. Can you tell me which permissions I should add?
Thanks!

EDIT

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx

Services that run as the Network Service account access network resources by using the credentials of the computer account

Answer

Grant rights to the remote resources to the computer account; this will allow for NETWORK SERVICE to access the resources.

Note that for this to work, the systems must be in a domain.

When granting permissions, Computer accounts aren’t searched by default. You’ll need to change your search scope in the permission granting dialog:

permissions

Then select the computer that the NETWORK SERVICE is running as.
