accessing network share

[vdeveloper]

Hi all

I would like to know how to access a password protected network share through code. Im building an app which runs a backup process to a specific folder on the server (password protected). My app knows the password but the folder should not be accessible to other users through windows.

What exactly is the syntax to access the share path by giving a password ?

Thanks in advance

Ravi

Hi

Method1:
********
oNet = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Network')
oNet.MapNetworkDrive("S:","\\myServer\myBack",.f.,"userName","Password&quot
** do your work
onet.RemoveNetworkDrive("s:",,.f.)


Method 2:
***********
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, STRING cAction, STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, STRING cDir, INTEGER nShowWin

=ShellExecute(0,"RUN","NET", ;
"USE H: \\Server\Back /User:myUser password /YES","",0)

** your other commands to backup and then ..

=ShellExecute(0,"RUN","NET", ;
"USE H: \\Server\Back /D /YES","",0)
