DownloadFile give Acccess Denied when administrative share used

[Bill Sempf]

Hi, all. I have a networking question, really. I have this line of code:

my.computer.network.downloadfile("\\1.2.3.4\c$\fil e.txt", "c:\ifle.txt",
"user", "pass")

When I run it, I get an access denied error from the framework.

If I go to the run menu on my workstation, and type:

\\1.2.3.4\c$\

And type in my credentials in the network dialog box, THEN run my code, it
works.

Now, in a certain way this makes sense. I just don't understand totally how
DownloadFile is coded under the sheets, and I probably need to use the
System.Net classes to pass the credentials a different way.

But if someone could give me a heads up as to how, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Did you already try 'File.Copy'?

Where in File.Copy would I pass in the credentials?
