How to view the directory information of the neighbor computer

[zeeway]

hi,everyone
I have a question about viewing the directory information of the remote
computer in the local network. I used the C# class: OpenFileDialog which can
not browse other computer's directory information. How can I view the whole
directory information of other computer given that I have one of its
administrator account. Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance.

Hello, zeeway!

You can use WMI ( Win32_Directory ).
or
if you have admin account you can view contents of computers disk,
you access for instance disk C, you will use fillowing UNC path \\computername\C$

Thank you. I have tried the code:

ConnectionOptions Conn = new ConnectionOptions();
Conn.Username ="test";
Conn.Password ="123";
ManagementPath p = new ManagementPath("\\\\192.168.1.9\\root\\cimv2");
ManagementScope ms = new ManagementScope(p,Conn);
ObjectQuery oq = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk");
ManagementObjectSearcher link = new ManagementObjectSearcher(ms,oq);
ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = link.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject dsk in Collection)
{
Console.Write(dsk["Caption"]);
}

It can help me accquire basic disk information on the remote computer, but
the directory and file information on a certain disk still can not be
abtained.
Can you give me a hand any more?
Best Regard

Why can't you use smth like this?
string [] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(\\servername\$C); //for disk C access
and the same for other disk in the system ( info about them can be obtained via WMI )

string [] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(\\servername\C$);

Hi,
I'm sorry for answering you so late.
Following your advice,I can read the files information now. But if the
remote computer wants me to provide one account and its password to verify
whether I can visit it,Could you tell me where I can specifiy the account
and its password. Thanks a lot.

Before accessing remote resources, you have to do impersonation via LogonUser API.
Take a look at impersonation sample here ( http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/cpimpersonation1.asp )

Hi Vadym,
I tried LogonUser API with the demo as you told me,but I found that
LogonUser returns true when I specify a local user name and its password no
matter what domain I specified. So what does the domain parameter mean? When
the domain is a remote computer and the userName and its password belongs to
the remote computer, LoginUser return false.
Could you give me more detail about the usage of LogonUser?

LogonUser returns security access token. This token is further used with impersonation.
Domain parameter is used if you want to obtain access token of the domain account.

Hi Vadym,

It's said that :You cannot use LogonUser to log on to a remote computer.

That's the whole point, LogonUser is an API used to authenticate a user,
when authentication succeeds an "access token" is returned, this token can
further be used to impersonate, but this isn't the same as "log on" to a
remote computer.
