Reading Remote Files

[Michael C]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a full directory listing from a remote machine. Anyone
know how? Also, is it possible to read a file from a remote machine, like a
..TXT file or a .XML file in a specified directory without using the C$, D$,
etc. or other shares? Finally, what rights would I need to read/write a
registry key remotely?

Thanks,
Michael C.

The UNC path should work for you as long as you have permission

OK. Is there a Win32 API function I can call to retrieve a remote
computer's directory?

Thanks,

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplicat ion4 {
class Class1 {
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args) {
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(" \\\\barney\\CDr ive");
foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles()) {
Console.WriteLi ne(fi.FullName) ;
}
Console.ReadLin e();
}
}
}

Is that what you want?

That looks like it might require a "share" named "CDrive", so it's not quite
what I'm looking for. Here's the deal, I want to get a remote computer
directory listing just like Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager does
when you click on the "Attach Database" function -- no shares required.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael C.
