transfer file from domain directory

[Dan]

i am developing an application that should import a file from a active
directory domain drive.
i have tried to use
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry,
but DirectoryEntry.Children
didn't return anything,
and System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
produced an error, s.th. like no search allowed on directory...
i am newbie and didn't find much information on google.

thanks for any help,
dan

Are you sure you are talking about an Active Directory? If you are, check
that you bind using the LDAP provider (LDAP://....).

Files don't live in the active directory. The active directory contains
accounts for people, computers, printers, and other network resources.

Files live in the filesystem.

Google on System.IO.Directory
