pass credentials for file copy

[woyler]

Hello,

In my quest to find a workaround for the lack of support for FTP to an AS400 in CF 2.0, I have set up a hidden share on my AS400. My thought behind this is to do a simple file copy from a Windows based machine to an AS400. Problem is the AS400 is going to require credentials to allow the connection. How can I pass a user/password or change my current credetials to allow the connection? I have looked into the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal, but I cant seem to get it right. Anyone have any ideas on this?

regards,

Bill

Have you tried remote copy - when I was working on HP-UX stuff I used rcp to move data between servers. I think it has arguments for the username and password.

We also used Samba to display unix folders in windows explorer from a network share. Samba worked very well and made a lot of the routine stuff much easier.

Having said all this, I know nothing about AS400 so this may all be irrelevant.

I also dont know anything about AS400 but I do know that the System.Management namespace (WMI) allows you to send in credentials to connect to a remote machine.

Hope this helps
