C# app: How do I write to a network share using different user credentials?

[IronMike]

I'm writing a program that needs to write files to a network share. My problem is that the program users are working on PCs that are not connected to our domain and the program needs to save files to a network share on the domain. It's not feasible to change all of the user accounts on the PCs to match the user's domain credentials so I want to prompt the user for credentials (they all have domain accounts to access Citrix) and then use those credentials to write the file rather than the local PC credentials.

I've searched and read documentation and found various pieces but I have not found a source that shows me how to supply different credentials when I am writing the file. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Well, I am pretty sure it can be done purely in codes/permisions....only I don't know how.

BUT
I did get around it by doing it in a batch file

NET USE \\computer /user:username password
 

And then

NET USE /DELETE \\computer
 

(Optionaly, you can change \\computer to \\computer\sharename)


This is not a safe way to do this, but it has worked for us
(remember, for username for domains, it's username@domain and not just username)

Thank your for your reply!

I was hoping to avoid calling net use in the program because there is a chance that the users may already have the resource mapped (but no guarantee). I'm hoping to avoid having to do a lot of configuration on the PCs that this will be deployed on.
