network-share

.Net provides us with a FolderBrowserDialog control to browse for folders. This is however a modal dialog box. I need to create a user control that I can drop onto my form. So, I have been looking at creating my own, where I need to get all local drives, mapped network drives, UNC shares and web folders (WebDAV/SharePoint). I am using Windows 7 and .Net 4.0. Local and Mapped Network Drives I can get the local drives from DriveInfo.GetDrives(). However, these are only showing me the drives that are available/online. In Windows Explorer, you also see mapped network drives that are disconnected

If I use the following to get the list of all connected drives: available_drives = ['%s:' % d for d in string.ascii_uppercase if os.path.exists('%s:' % d)] How do I get the UNC path of the connected drives? os.path just returns z:\ instead of \share\that\was\mapped\to\z Use win32wnet from pywin32 to convert your drive letters. For example: import win32wnet import sys print(win32wnet.WNetGetUniversalName(sys.argv[1], 1)) This gives me something like this when I run it: C:\test>python get_unc.py i:\some\path \\machine\test_share\some\path Using ctypes and the code shown in the first answer in

IIS5 is running on SERVER1. One of the virtual directories in IIS, myfiles, is pointing to "A shared location on another computer", //SERVER2/myfilesshare When I try to access the page: http://SERVER1/myfiles ... I get the error: You are not authorized to view this page HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed Internet Information Services I have triple-checked the "Connect As..." settings in IIS. The credentials I'm using to access the share are correct-- they work when connect to the share in Windows Explorer, but not through the IIS virtual directory. I've tried granting full permission to

I'm trying to connect to a network share (by it's UNC) from the browser, but am unable to. If I run my script from the command line, everything is fine and I can access the share. I'm also able to navigate to it through Windows' file explorer, so I don't think there's anything wrong with my code, or the permissions for my Windows account. My script looks like this: $dir = '\\\\some\path'; if (is_dir($dir)) { echo 'dir exists'; } else { echo 'dir does not exist'; } I also tried using DirectoryIterator($dir) , but that throws this exception error: PHP Warning: opendir(...): Access is denied.

I'm trying to read web resource fron within the C# code. Unfortunately the code is valid only when running from local drive and throws exception when running from network share (and that's what I need). The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server. in System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() .........

I have a network shared folder mapped to a drive letter, which is accessible from Windows Explorer, from the command prompt as well as from my WinForms application without problem. It is also accessible from my Windows service using a UNC path. However, when I attempt to access this network location using a mapped drive letter from the Windows service, access fails. The Windows service is configured to use my personal "Log On" account credentials, which is the same in all the above cases. I am an administrator. Many customer sites utilize drive letters for network shares and I cannot always
