System.IO Copy() and Move() question

[vince]

MSDN help says you can use a UNC path for any methods
that accept a path, and I'm wondering if I can also
substitute an IP address for the UNC....???

Example:

Using System.IO.File.Move()

File.Move("\\\\MyServer\\share\\dir\\myfile.txt",
"\\\\YourServer\\share\\dir\\myfile.txt");

Should I also be able to use IP address like this?:

File.Move("http://192.168.1.1\\share\\dir\\myfile.txt",
"http://192.166.1.3\\share\\dir\\myfile.txt");

thanks for your input...

Hello Vince,

No, you cannot use http://192.168.1.1 as a valid UNC path. But, if using
Win2K/XP, then you should be able to use \\192.168.1.1\share_name as a valid
UNC path. If you are looking to use http://192.168.1.1, then you should look
into using WebDAV.

Bill,

thanks for the reply.... any IP format that I can use in
the UNC will work, and this will be with XP, so I guess
my question should have been "how can I substitute an IP
address in a UNC ???"....

thanks a heap...
