Problem is: invalid username or password or network path not found.

What I have tried:

using (var client = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

    var localPath = @"\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\folder\MineFile.txt";
    var remotePath = "https://test.com:xxxx/folder/MineFile.txt";

    client.DownloadFile(remotePath, localPath);
}

The Credentials will be for accessing the remote file to download, not access to the UNC you are saving to. The context your code is running under will need write access to the UNC. If it doesn't you might need to download the file locally then use another mechanism that allows you to copy files to a UNC while providing credentials.

You can't do it directly - the second parameter is not a URI, it's a local file path.
So download it to your local machine, then upload it to the second domain.

I think you've misread the code, the params are not used in the order they are defined.
