I have an FTP Server outside of the domain (In a workgroup). I need to move files using an application called by the FTP client on the FTP server to a share within the domain using VB.net:
(System.IO.File.Move(SourcePath & Filename, TargetPath & Filename))Impersonation will not work neither will mapping a drive (As no user will be logged on)This is a console application that takes the above parameters.
I have a server that is not in the domain, but has data files on it, I would like users to be able to access. But don't want to manage individual accounts on the machine. With my application that i have written that gets the data(as long as I am logged on) how can I let any user in the main domain access to the data through my application?
View 8 RepliesI've created managed code to programmatically provision websites on Windows 2008 servers from a Vista 64-bit workstation.The provisioning covers creating DNS entries, creating a file structure and a the IIS7 site (using Microsoft.Web.Administration aka MWA).I've had to do some DCOM configuration to get it to work through a firewall and it all works on the test server provided I'm in the same domain.I then cloned the Windows Server 2008 Virtual Machine (VM) that the provisioning does work on and then changed the clone's domain to the child domain in the forest where the production servers are sitting.The provisioning user credentials are synchronised on the parent and child domains.So the only change is moving domains and there is an automatically configured trust relationship between the domains.
Provisioning the file system still works on the server on the child domain, but managing DNS and IIS7 now have access issues.I've tried impersonating the Administrator on the child domain (and the thread identity is showing that works) and also had a go with CoInitializeSecurity (though I'm not sure that is appropriate for Win2008 and Vista)to no avail.What I really want to avoid is the need to have to store credentials separately on the workstation - it brings an unwelcome maintenance overhead and the possibility that if the provisioning user's password is changed, then the provisioning will unexpectedly fail on the production servers.Ideally once the provisioning user has logged onto the Vista Workstation, I'd like their credentials to pass through to the servers on the child domains (there are separate DNS and web servers) allowing them to manipulate whatever services (DNS, IIS7, file system) that are necessary.The solutions would seem to be something programmatic (whatever replaced CoInitializeSecurity?) or a Group Policy setting on the child domain may need altering to allow access.However being a humble software developer working out which of the myriad settings (one of the User Rights Assignments perhaps?) is outside my sphere of knowledge.The third alternative is to use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) but I haven't done much with this yet and what I have indicates that this technology has its own security issues to accommodate.
I am trying to readwrite to a UNC share from a machine that is not on the corporate domain. I'm performing a mkdir(UNCpath) command and I'm also writting by using an xml.save(UNCPath) command.
The problem is that users who are not on the domain are getting permission errors when attempting to access the unc share.
Is there a way to pass credentials automatically when attempting to access the UNC share.
I've read a bunch of posts and people have suggested mapping a network drive then writting but I would only like to do this as a last resort.
If a user navigates to my webpage how can I programmatically determine they are accessing my page from within the Intranet? (Not interested in NTLM or Windows forms authentication. Need a programmatic method.)
View 2 RepliesI have a function that works perfectly when I attempt to add a user from the same domain into a group of the same domain.

The error is actually being thrown on the Invoke line, but as I said earlier, if the user is in the same domain, this works perfectly.
I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)
Im am writing a simple console app that will check and see that a file exists and then if does it will copy the file and move/paste the file into a new location. The file I'm checking exists as a file share on a server and I am wanting to move the file to a folder on a local machines C drive.
I'm working from my machine which is on the domain where the file exists and I'm logged in and have full admin rights on the domain. I can access the file share but when I run my app it gives an error saying access to to the file path is denied. My question is even if I'm on the network do I still need to provide username and password credentials to make this connection? If so how do I do this?

I am developing an Application in VB.Net 2.0. I have a module which would copy files from the Local Machine to a shared folder on remote machine. This shared folder on the remote machine is an authenticated folder. So, after searching on the Internet I found the following piece of code.[code]Another point to note is that when I connect to the File Share using Windows Explorer and then try to execute the application, it works properly.I am not sure why I am getting the error when I do not connect to the Shared Folder using Windows Explorer.Do I have to set some property so that the Credentials passed in the authentication are used.I also checked some posts that suggested setting up Mapped Drive to the Shared Folder on the Local machine and then to copy the file using IO.File.Copy function. However, I cannot use this as this Remote Folder should be only accessed through the application and not in any other case by the User. The users will not even have the credentials to this remote Server as it will be configured by the admin.So, Is there any way in which I can set this up and transfer the files from local machine to a remote shared folder?

I have a question. I'm deploying my VB app that performs some task VIA SCCM. The application is run with the NTAuthoritySystem account.
I would like to copy a log file to a server all domain users/computer can right to this folder. I'm trying to get a log copied to the server but since it's running as the system account it can't authenticate to the share to save the log file on XP machines.
Can somebody show me example code of how to save a file as a different user when running the program with the system account . Would this be secure to use a domain account to impersonate and save the file?

how to copy file with authentication
I have a file that is being generated automatically on a server in a Windows domain, say, called, "prod" and I will need to have VB.NET to transmit this file to another server in another Windows domain, say, "QA", where QA and Prod have different credentials altogether and I have to authenticate that credential every time I opened up the destination folder.Therefore, I guess the regular filecopy method would not work?

I can set the path as WinNT://domain.name/username...and I get a list of something, are they files? i am not sure? Second portion of code searches the computer for the java.exe to display its version, as well as searching for any indication of a java file on that computer.

I'm working on a little script to automate tasks across 12 servers, that are all on the same domain and have a similar setup. The tasks are to create a new folder, to then copy contents off the network into it, and to create a virtual directory in IIS 6 pointing to it. Ideally I'd like to log errors but that's a later concern. My approach was to write a VB Script to connect to WMI on each server in an array, then use it to run off a batch file. While the VBS works if I tell it to create a folder directly, it does not run (any part of) the batch file, nor give me any errors.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a winforms application and would like to allow the application to open and save files from/to a folder on the network (acting as a document manager). Only one user has access to the folder and I can hard code that users credentials into the application. Where using AD on windows server.How do I allow the application to do this?I would prefer not to use impersonation but from my research it appear I may have to. I would welcome suggestions for alternative methods. I do have some code for impersonation which seems to work. However I cannot open the file using process.start I get access denied.

I will use the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to transfer files from a client (laptop) to a shared folder on a server within our local network.The problem is a very slow network bandwith, if we transfer a file, the other clients canīt work, all requests to other clients (application) or viewing internet pages needs a long time.My idea is to use BITS in my tool to copy/transfer a file from client to server, also I hope to get more performance for the internet requests.

I currently have
Dim attachedFilePath As String = "\myservermyshare est.txt"
File.Open(attachedFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
This does not open a file.
However, if I change the path to be local then there is no issue.
Dim attachedFilePath As String = "c:... est.txt"
So, is there a way to open a file from remote storage?
is there a way to programmatically return who is using a particular file within a network share??
