Write A Program / Script To Automatically Copy Directories To A Remote Computer?
Oct 13, 2009
Firstly, I have the utmost respect for programmers & IT professionals. I'm a newby/wanna-be. I'm looking for help on developing a small program/script that helps me with the task I have detailed below. I am NOT submitting this as homework. This is work-related, but I'm NOT asking you to do my job. I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn more about programming by doing a task that I need done. I'm very interested in core concepts, steps, and your advice on how best to tackle this task (which tools, language, etc.)
I need to copy a file from a local computer to a remote computer on the network, if i try to use File.Copy without logon i get the following error:"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."How do I provide user name and password for file copy?
I get all Computers name from ldap and I wish to search a file at remote machine and copy it at any desitination. so I have following question1.How can we connect remote machine if they have user name and password?
I'm trying to copy a file to a remote computer using the IO.File.Copy method. When I attempt to copy the file, the method throws an UnauthorizedAccessException exception, which is understandable because I am not able to supply logon credentials. My question is: I have the logon credentials (Computer name, username, password) so how can I copy the file to the remote system without resorting to an overkill API call (namely WNetUseConnection)?
I'm using System.Management.ManagementScope to connect to a remote computer and install an MSI package. This works great if the MSI is located on the remote computer, but it fails if I try to use a network location to run the MSI from. The UNC path is correct because if I manually type it from the remote computer it runs fine. There must be a limitation (security I'm thinking) that prevents things from running via WMI if the exe isn't local to the remote machine.My last hope will be to copy the MSI from the network location, store it locally on the remote computer, then run it - but I'd really rather not have to do that.
I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
I am trying to make a vb.net program which will perform WMI queries to check for remote computer's name and OS. I manage to do the first query of name using the code below..
[Code]...
I am getting error "Local variable 'query' is already declared in the current block. (BC30288)".I understand that I am using same name for the object variable for performing subsequent query. Is there a way in which I can dispose the variable completely and reuse it again for querying the new required WMI detail? My search in the net couldn't give me any clue as of how to clear the variable and use it again. The issue is with two variables "query" and "searcher". Is it only possible that I should give unique names to each query object variable as I might add more queries later on?
I am trying to write a VB program to automatically detect and identify a particular device that will only communicate to my program when I have 2 or more devices plug into the USB port. One way of doing it that I can think of is to scan through the available port and do a write and read to identified the port. But that would take up a lot of time if I were to scan through say 5 available port.
I am tasked to write a new program to remote into our tech support computers to help them out while they are trying to remote into their computers to see what is up if they are having problems. I was asked to be able to not move their mouse if they were in Word, Excel, in an application writing a problem ticket,
I tried to get os version of remote computer using ip address with WMI ,It shows "RPC server unavailable" error.If anybody have solution for getting remote system information without WMI in vbnet,
I'm wanting to write a program where a user can copy text from a pdf file, paste it into my program and it can identify which file the text came from and where in the file the text was copied from. This is so that later on, the user can then select the pasted text, and the program can load up the source pdf and highlight the text section.Are there any components out there which I can use to accomplish this
How do I copy a folder and all subfolders and files in .NET?
I'm trying to copy a buntch of sub directories to a different directory. I'm wanting to update this code:
Dim fso As System.Object = New System.Object fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject") fso.copyfolder(sour, dest)
[Code].....
Is there a easier way of doing this with less lines of code like the fso As System.Object version? Also, I have System.IO imported however File.Copy and Directory.GetFiles are not colored blue, could this be the issue? I have the System loaded as a reference.

Is there any way to get the system time of a remote computer with VB.Net code?
