Hi All

Is it possible to check if access to a VPN protected server file location available? i.e that the user has connected VPN, if not to stop the code and issue a warning?

Thanks

Ali

A quick and easy way would be to check for the existence of a known file. If there are no known files and you have write permissions, you could try to write a temporary file and if successful, delete it.

I have a similar situation, not with a VPN, but with a removable drive. I keep a file named "DoNotDelete.Me" on the root of the drive. If I can access that file, I know the drive is connected.
