File operations over shared folder

[Squall_FF8 1]

Hey guys,

I have a shared folder on the local net that I want to be able to Copy/Move/Delete files from it with a Delphi application.
It works great when I share that folder with unlimited access.
For security requirements I cant do that - I need to make it accessible only with user/pass
Do you know how I can that?

Try using WNetAddConnection2() or WNetAddConnection3() to establish a connection to the folder with user/pass before then accessing the files.

You use the Windows API WNetAddConnection2 to make a connection to a network resource and can redirect a local device to the network resource, ie map a UNC drive to a local drive letter that you can access, the API needs the remote login. 

 

The ICS TIcsFileCopy component uses it for remote path access.
