I have a text file on a website that I have the direct URL address to. For example, http://www.example.com/thisFile.txt .
I would like to copy it to a predefined path on the local machine. For example, C:Documents and SettingsAll Users .
What can I use to copy the file from the URL to the predefined path on the local machine. A simple CopyFile doesn't seem to handle URL addresses.
We have an app that tracks .DOC and .PDF files (and possibly other file extensions). It stores copies of them on a network share. I want to give the ability to the user to allow them to click the file in a listview, for example, and have that file open in WORD or ADOBE or whatever program is associated with that file type.

When I use:
File.Copy(strRemoteFolder, strLocalFolder)
I get an UnauthorizedAccessException with the following message: "Access to the path ... is denied."In .NET, how do I copy a file from a remote computer that requires authentication to my local machine? I understand that I'm going to need to supply a username and password in some fashion, but I don't know how to supply that information via an API in .NET.
I'm trying to write a small app that finds the local machine's IP address (and SNM, DefGW, 1st DNS server, etc) then displays this nicely.
I don't want to go down the route of doing a Shell "ipconfig /all > somefile" then reading it in as I *know* this can be done another way.

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 no compile errors, but when I run it, it throws an exception (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException). I'm absolutely sure the destination existst (it's referencing the destination directory). I've tried doing it with system.io.file.copy(source,dest)and my.computer.filesystem.copyfile(source,dest). Same result either way.
I have a program that must copy a file to 3 locations, the local hard disk, a USB drive, and a network location. I have the file (about 70mb) loaded into a byte array. My quesion is, since I'm not actively modifying the byte array, can I impliment a form of multithreading where all 3 threads read the same byte array at the same time?

In my project I have a Template for an MS Access database. My desired behavior is that when the users clicks File-->New, they can create a new copy of this template, give it a filename, and save it to their local directory.
The database already has the tables and some starting data needed to interface with my application (a user-friendly data editor)
I'm thinking the approach is to include this "template.accdb" file as a resource in the project, and write it to a file somehow at runtime?
I want to know how to connect to a remote system having some shared folder.(ex, \myservermysharedfolder).Actually, I was supposed to copy a particular file which is available in a shared location of a system.

I have tried with System.Management class, but no use..
View 2 RepliesHow can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.

View 1 RepliesIIS7 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Development environment is VWDE 2010.
I'm setting up a simple "machine status" page to monitor a server. I want to display the Drives on the machine, including mapped network drives and show their free space, etc.
I'm using System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives() to return a collection of DriveInfo objects. I then itterate that collection to display the relevant information.
The issue I'm having is that only local drives appear. (A:, C: and D:) No mapped drives "Network Locations" appear in the collection.
I'm thinking it has to do with the user account that's executing the code (if that makes any sense). So if the code is executing under the user "ASPNET" (or whatever it is) the drives would have to be mapped under that user. As it happens, I have the server set up like a workstation and it logs in automatically under the user with the mapped drives.
What I've done:
- I have set the Web Site's Anonymous Authentication user to that same user
- I have set the Identity of the Application Pool to which my web site is assigned to be that same user.

I know you can use wsh to open a shell and execute the ping command from a command prompt window then use the ReadAll to get the information ping sends back and from there you can determine if the ping was sucessful or not. How would I do this in VB .Net or is there a better way to ping machines in .net?

I have a program written in VB 2008 express. It connects to an Access database via Jet4.0 OLEDB. It works fine on my computer running windows xp. It works fine on computers running Vista and Windows 7 that also have Access installed. Howerver when run on a computer with Windows 7 that does not have Access installed. The following Error Message appears whenever there is an attempt to access the database:
The 'MS JET.OLEDB 4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.Reviewing MS info, it appears that mdjet40.dll is found in XP and earlier and that syswow64.dll is found in Vista and later.What do I need to do to make my program run on all versions of Windows with or without Access installed?
I currently have a part of my program that uploads an image file MainChart.png from a set location (locally) to a set remote location(on the ftp server). What I would now like to do is be able to upload more than one file at the same time.
What I am currently doing is repeating the same block of code, but changing the image file name from MainChart.png to another one of the image file names, so have about 8 instances of this block of code, Where the file name is just changed.
Does anyone know how I can do this in just one block of code, rather than the program having to keep calling another Sub and logging onto the FTP site each time for each image file that I want to upload?
Private Sub FtpMainChart()
' FTP_URL, FTP_UserName & FTP_Password, are variables that hold the FTP credentials, declared earlier in the code.
