Connect to network share with username password via prg 1

[robsuttonjr]

I need to connect to a network share with a username and password from within a foxpro .prg. Check for the existence of a file. Then copy the file down to local pc if file is found. Any suggestions? (Biggest concern is how to connect to server share with login and password).


The more I learn the more I find I know nothing.

This requires Windows Scripting to be installed:

oNet = CreateObject('WScript.Network')    
oNet.MapNetworkDrive('I','\\myserver\myFiles',.T.,'mike','password')

Or without window scripting:

net use DriveLetter: \\Computername\sharename
(Use "net use /?" command at the command/msdos prompt to see get help and more options like how to put username and password)
example: net use x: \\myserver\myshare

Thanks Mike I am going to try this:

EXECSCRIPT("run net use \\192.168.1.1\ShareName MyPassword /user:MyUser")

I like not having to worry about having something installed for applications that will be used by many.
