how you can allow vb.net to access a file/folder within a domain group and retrieves it permission setting to determine if the user have access or denied access to a certain folder?
I have a list of users with me and I need to find out programmatically which of the users present in the list have read/write permissions on a particular folder/file.
I have an issue with the Windows permission system. And every time it tries to do something that needs a windows permission (to be ran as administrator) it fails !
At the moment I was trying to implement an updater which should download a file from an ftp site but because copying a file into one of the program files folder requires a permission I am not able to do this.
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
Is there a way to set admin permission on them user/AppData/Local/Temp folder?I need to set it so folders and subfolder cant be deleted, then turn it back on. Not doing anything shady... this is for personal use I make themes for BB phones, and there is a trick where you can set this permission, then export the theme, and it allows you to look at the code of the theme so you can make adjustments in how things work
I'm trying to protect a folder and the files inside it. I'm able to protect the folder itself, so that if somebody clicks on it he will get a message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder!"
Public Sub Share() Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share") Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
I have developed a VB.net 2008 application.My application is running successfully in x86 machine.I write some files in windows folder.When I test it on Windows 7 x64 machine with administrator log in there is no problem with this.If i run it with other user log in it gives me an error for access denied for files in Windows folder.
I'm in the mid of creating a program that will get the security permissions of a certain folder/s but some properties of the security permissions of a certain folder I can't query or get the values. I'm using VB.NET 2010This what I want to get in every permissionApply to:This folder and subfoldersThis folder, subfolders and filesSubfolder and files
I have some simple code that uses xcalcs.exe to set folder permission the script works fine but i am sure there is a smarter way to do the progress bar below is my code.
I would like to read the NT Security (Read, Write, List, Inherited, blah blah blah) permissions from a file. I already have some code, and can get the names and SIDs, but can�t seem to figure out the actual access bits. I have found how to SET them, but not read.
Here is what I have so far:
Code: Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Security
I have created a folder in DotNetNuke programmatically on the root portal directory. I just want to assign permissions to it only one time, for example I want to make it read only for authenticated users. Any advice on how to accomplish this using C# or VB.NEt?
I am using impersonate user to copy files form one location to other.Only impersonate user will have write permission on the destination folder.But i want to check before if that user has write permission before i copy file.Currently i could able to get it using try catch exception, for that i need to perform the copy file process.
I'm trying to return a integer / count of the ammount of files in the directory and sub directories in the 'Windows' folder, I need to be able to do this as fast as possible (no lag) and tell when it's done, hope I explained this right.
i need to access to a special folder and operate there, but i don't have permission to do this, how i can set permission to access to special folder and delete/create files?
how do i read the first line of text of every text file in a folder and populated in a list box. Also how do I get it to show the file name in a text box when you select an item in the listbox
I would like to search event logs on my network for a certain EventID. I havent worked with Event Logs before and was wondering how difficult this task would be.
i am trying to access a network folder from my ASP.NET Intranet web application.[code]How can i enter my username and password in order to make it work?
I am playing with network sockets as I need to work on a client-server application. So I have tried this simple code from VS help:
Code: Dim tcpClient As New TcpClient()
'The following line do not belongs to original code 'But I needed to add it as debugger told me that 'I couldnt getStream from closed sockets
tcpClient.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8000) Dim netStream As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream() If netStream.CanWrite Then
[code]....
So, I supposed that the code above would write the message to the loopback IP (127.0.0.1), it would be kept in the network buffer and would be spited out when it readed the same loopback IP. However, when it gets the line whre it should read the stream, the program just stalls and keep reading it forever. I have tested the stream with as if it was just awaiting for something to read. I have tested the stream with getStream.DataAvailable and it returned me False, what makes me guess that the data is NOT being properly written to the IP.
Firstly I thought that it could be something with the loopback IP, then I tried to provide the machine local IP (192.168.2.25) but I got the same behavior: code stalls...
I want to know what rights the user has for a given folder on a network drive. But I can't find anything that does just this.
I have used DirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl and DirectorySecurity.GetAccessRules, etc. to get a collection (AuthorizationRuleCollection) of rules. But that gives me all the access groups and their rights. I don't need that (I guess I can see if I can find code that gets which returns the security groups for the current user and then compare those to the collection, but this seems awkward.)
Or I can write code that tries to create a file, delete it, etc. which is easy to do, but not quite accurate (if the user can't create a file, how can I see if the user can delete one, if the user has create, but not delete rights, I get a bunch of temp files, etc.)
All I need to know is if the current user has read write, read only, create, and/or delete rights to a given folder (and I guess file might also be nice - I would assume similar code.)
I have to believe that its a really simple thing. But Googling it and searching on the forums here didn't turn up much (unless I want code to change the users rights - which I don't.)
To create a dynamic folder in local drive it was generating, if suppose we need to create a folder in network path means error say that cannot access to the path is denied, how to resolve this issue , i m working on vb.net
I have installed Visual basic 2010 Express and SQL Sever 2008 r2 Express and when I try to make a connection using the Data Source Configuration wizard, it shows "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner..." I found some similar questions at the forum but are not exactly the same problem. So I would like some help. I am running my lap as administrator.
I've written a service that runs with the credential of the user "SYSTEM", this service recursively enumerates the subdirectory of a given directory. My goal is to change the file permission of the directories enumerated. For example I want to set/unset
Since it will be run by the user I don't want the user to have to do anything but send the IT department the log file it creates.
What I want to do is see if a folder on the network can be opened successfully. I do not want to ping it, but actually open it and see if it loads. I can do this for a website by retrieving the http status code, but I can't find any references to something similar for explorer.exe. Here is a basic flowchart of this part of the program:
ping server --yes--> access \server_namefolder --no--> access \server_IPfolder --no--> Authentication Issue --yes--> DNS Issue
Note also that just checking authentication won't work because it could also be a DNS problem. I guess I could check them both, but I would rather do it this way if possible (and I don't know how to go about checking either one)
