Hi Tjsah18,
what language and development environment are you working with? (looks like a C variant, C# maybe??)
I presume you're running something under Windows (drive letters are only used under Windows).
There can be a lot of reasons why this doesn't work.
Does the server need some kind of authentication?
As far as I remember, most do need some sort of authentication - to avoid this, map the network share as a drive (I could be wrong of course).
Note: I've ran into the same issue with different programming languages.
p.s. I created a new sub-forum for questions like yours, so I moved it there since that seemed more appropriate.
@hans Hello Hans,
Thank you for your replying!
i'm working with
Language : c++
OS : window 10
development environment : Rad studio
we have a network drive and need an authentication.
I'm trying to copy the file from network drives to local drive.
thank you,
I very much suspect that authorization fails, and that's why I doesn't work.
As I understand, you cannot add username/password in the URI (under Windows), so that won't be a solution either.
I haven't done any C++/C# programming under Windows in the passed years. So I can only ask our friend Google.
I did find this post, maybe it helps.
As I understand this sets your current "user" to the user you need to be able to access the file (credentials not the same as your current user account):
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal); WindowsIdentity idnt = new WindowsIdentity(username, password); WindowsImpersonationContext context = idnt.Impersonate(); File.Copy(@"\\192.100.0.2\temp", @"D:\WorkDir\TempDir\test.txt", true); context.Undo();
