Map a drive to an ftp share

[John Bailo]

I build an NT service using the FileSystemWatcher() class to detect when
new files arrive at our ftp server.

Now I want to configure it to watch for files on someone else's remote
server.

Questions:

1. Can I map a drive letter to an ftp share?

2. Do you think the FileSystemWatcher class can respond in the same way
when monitoring a remote ftp site as it does when watching a local
directory?

Specifically, can it raise an event for the creation of a new file on
the ftp directory?

Ok, after a little browsing I find something called the NetHood.

It seems to let me browser my Network Neighborhood places as directories
-- somewhat. I am able to open a cmd window, and cd into the NetHood
and then the ftp sites, with the name ftp.mysite.com being the directory
name.

However It doesn't seem to show the ftp sites in a "logged in" mode.

Is there a way to have them display as they would when logged in via
Windows?

Can I issue a logon at the command line to one of my /NetHood/ sites?

I guess not -- NetHood isn't what I thought -- it just seems like a
container for some *.lnk files that then perform some magic.

The original query stands.

Hi,

It's an old technique to try and muddy the waters by just attacking a
person randomly.

Unfortunately, the awareness of Usenet is way in advance of the
technology that you use.

Sorry charlie, you would have been a hit in the 90s when people were
first learning about Usenet -- but not here, not now.

Moron you don't define your terms. There is no file watcher class on windows only FileChangeNotification object. Explorer uses one of these on every window you have open.

Wow. Maybe you should write MSDN and tell them about this then:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sctortopic.asp
Initializes a new instance of the FileSystemWatcher class.
Overload List

Initializes a new instance of the FileSystemWatcher class.

[Visual Basic] Public Sub New()

[C#] public FileSystemWatcher();

[C++] public: FileSystemWatcher();

[JScript] public function FileSystemWatcher();




Explorer uses one of these on every window you have open.

Shows how much you know, this is far from random. You are a waste of
life. And the only place and time you would have been a hit would be
would have been before life appeared on the planet.

Probably correct, given the appearance of your chromosome set at this

John - I believe the file watcher classes can look at a remote drive and
monitor its activity by using a UNC path - if it has the correct
permissions. An ftp drive is just a directory opened to port 21, so you can
ignore the ftp element and just monitor the drive if you can map to it using
unc from your code.

Sorry, I dont have an example for you.

Thanks John!

That's the answer I was hoping for.

Does anyone else have an idea for mapping a drive or unc addressing an ftp
share?

I spent about 4 hours Googling, but couldn't find the answer.

The best I could find is the "NetHood" but that just seems a set of links to
ftp sites -- not actually drive/directories that I can us.

Candy's message was completely unnecessary. People can ask all sorts of questions wheher simple or not. This newsgroup is to help people with their problems. How does a question make someone moron is beyond me!! Candy Floss should apologise immediately to John. In any case, the question wasn't posed specifically for Candy Floss so how did it touch his raw nerve needs a detailed investigation at the highest level! Perhaps, that nerve is raptured inserting uncle Bill's SP2 patch!!!
