So... I am in the process of writing a program that requires remote access to a file on another machine in the same domain
without any mapping.
I have done some research on the Internet and came to the conclusion that the best way forward is to implement
Win32 API function WNetUseConnection found at the link below.
c# - How do I access a file share programattically - Stack Overflow
The only problem is, this example is divided into 3 sections with only 1 section recognizable.
I was wondering if someone could extend a helping hand in getting it implemented.
Below is my program listing with indication of where I would like to access the remote machine:-
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form{
public Form1(){
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
this.Close();
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e){
statusBar1.Panels[1].Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");
statusBar1.Panels[0].Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
string path = @"G:\PhoneApps";
string filename = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");
string controlfile = Path.Combine(path, filename + ".txt");
switch(File.Exists(controlfile)){
case true: statusBar1.Panels[2].Text = "Directory Located......";
break;
default: statusBar1.Panels[2].Text = "Downloading Directory......";
//check remote machine for controlfile here?.
// File.Create(controlfile);
break;
}
}
}
}
Thanks in advance
