network-drive

i created a windows service that move files around between the server's hard drive (where the service is installed) to the network drive mapped in the server. one of the problems I encountered while creating a solution was network problems. how do i check if a network drive exists while setting a timeout in checking it? If it times out, I catch the exception and retry in X number of minutes and leave items in queue. thanks! Put the call in a seperate thread and close the thread after a certain timeout. The following link implements a timeout logic for a method: http://kossovsky.net/index.php

often i have to create map drive where i specify machine and user credential. now i like to know can we write a batch file which will create map drive and where i provide all details like pc and folder location and user credentials etc. i got one as follows but i think this is not one which i require. please guide me. thanks net use \\<network-location>\<some-share>\ password /USER:username @echo Create new L: drive mapping @net use L: \\network path /persistent:yes @echo Create new K: drive mapping @net use K: \\network path /persistent:yes :exit if i do this way...then does it work net use y

I need to map a network drive into a network path using VBScript. The network path is read directly from input. How should I map the network drive and how to check whether the entered network path already exists? I created a subroutine to map drives... MapDrive "H:","\\server\share" Sub MapDrive(letter, uncpath) on error Resume Next dim drivetype, currentmapping dim objWMIService dim colDisks, objDisk 'Set wshnetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _ "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2") Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ (

I want to programmatically find out if my application is running from a network drive. What is the simplest way of doing that? It should support both UNC paths ( \\127.0.0.1\d$ ) and mapped network drives (Z:). This is for mapped drive case. You can use the DriveInfo class to find out whether drive a is a network drive or not. DriveInfo info = new DriveInfo("Z"); if (info.DriveType == DriveType.Network) { // Running from network } Complete method and Sample Code. public static bool IsRunningFromNetwork(string rootPath) { try { System.IO.DriveInfo info = new DriveInfo(rootPath); if (info

I've been tasked with writing a simple command line utility in C# that will monitor a directory on a server that several users will be accessing to copy/cut/paste/view data. I used FileSystemWatcher to do this but it's lacking a couple features. Is it possible to determine the user or at least the computer name from where the file is being accessed/modified? (Note: This doesn't have to be with FileSystemWatcher, I'm looking for ANY way to do this.) Joshua I don't think you'll be able to monitor this from C# directly. Not without the help of the host operating system anyway. Windows and NTFS

I have a Windows 7 virtual machine in VMWare that I'm using to develop ASP.NET MVC 5 Web applications with the default IIS Express server. I like to keep my projects saved on an external hard drive which I can access in the virtual machine through a shared folder / network drive. However, when I run my applications, IIS Express cannot access my web.config files in the project directory. It's looking in the right folder so I'm pretty sure this is a permissions issue. How can I grant IIS Express file access to the files on my network drive? Things I've tried Running Visual Studio as an

I am trying to create a script where I will be searching the file servers for non inherited permissions. I have run into the 260 character limit for file names as a result. A suggestion I saw, that I thought would help, a couple of times was to create some non persistent PS Drives a couple of levels deep and query those. Problem is when I use Get-ChildItem against the new PS Drives it is returning object with the full network path and not using the name I assigned it. # Cycle the folders Get-ChildItem $rootPath -Directory | select -first 1 | ForEach-Object{ $target = $_ # Create a PS Drive for

My software handles multiple operations on files, and I have now finished writing the related functions, using the System.IO classes. I now need to add support for network drives. Using a mapping works very well (although Directory.GetFiles is a bit low, and I don't know why), but I'd now like to be able to deal directly with paths such as \\192.168.0.10\Shared Folder\MyDrive . Is there any way to handle this type of paths other than mounting the drive to an available drive letter, using the newly generated path, and then unmounting? You can use the UNC path (which starts with \\ ) directly in
