To copy files from one location to shared location

[shagil]

Hi All,
I have a C# program to copy the files from one location to another and its working fine if the destination location is in same server but my requirement is to copy the files from server-1 to server-2 where i have a shared location created (\\Server2\Testfile). From Server1 i have the permission to access the shared folder, copy the files, delete files but through program its says "Access to the path '\\Server2\Testfile' is denied.


Thanks

Shagil

This is the part of coding where i do the file copying, i tried without impersonation but same result


[DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool LogonUser(string pszUsername, string pszDomain, string pszPassword,
int dwLogonType, int dwLogonProvider, ref IntPtr phToken);
// closes open handes returned by LogonUser
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public extern static bool CloseHandle(IntPtr handle);
//elevate privileges before doing file copy to handle domain security
WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext = null;
IntPtr userHandle = IntPtr.Zero;
const int LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT = 0;
const int LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE = 2;
string domain = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImpersonationDomain"];
string user = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImpersonationUserName"];
string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImpersonationPassword"];
// if domain name was blank, assume local machine
if (domain == "")
{
domain = System.Environment.MachineName;
}
// Call LogonUser to get a token for the user
bool loggedOn = LogonUser(user,domain,password,LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE,LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT,ref userHandle);
if (!loggedOn)
{
WriteErrorLog("Exception impersonating user, error code: " + Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
}
// Begin impersonating the user
impersonationContext = WindowsIdentity.Impersonate(userHandle);
//run the program with elevated privileges (like file copying from a domain server)
// Here i do the file copiying
foreach (string s in files)
{
System.IO.File.Copy(s, System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DestinatioinFilePath"].ToString() + FileName, true);
}
impersonationContext.Undo();

You have made your code very hard to read. In future, please use actual code formatting tags, i.e.

[xcode=c#]your code here[/xcode]

to get syntax highlighting or:

[code]your code here[/code]

if you want to add extra formatting, e.g. bold.

Hi jmcilhinney


Can you suggest any of the coding for the below scenario ?

"I have a C# program to copy the files from one location to another and its working fine if the destination location is in same server but my requirement is to copy the files from server-1 to server-2 where i have a shared location created (\\Server2\Testfile). From Server1 i have the permission to access the shared folder, copy the files, delete files but through program its says "Access to the path '\\Server2\Testfile' is denied."

If your using SQL Server i've found using NetUse very effective at moving files from server to server.
