VB.NET-Accessing a Secure Network Directory

4 New Member
Alright, now I'm sure this is 'simple' for most seasoned .NET programmers, but I am still in the process of learning both VB & .NET...

I have a console application that has to access a network directory (\\server\path) in order to read through all files that exist there.

The problem I have encountered is that in order to access the directory, it requires proper authentication (userid & pass)...

The actual error that I am getting is: Access to the path '\\server\path' is denied

I have been looking around quite a bit for a solution or even 'how-to' that covers the process of authenticating the .NET app to allow access to the desired directory.

If anyone can give pointers or even a link to such information, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks everyone!
