Connecting to Server and Reading a file.
- Thread starter Forum25
- Start date
there may be some functionality available in the FileSystemWatcher object (haven't used it). I would start their.
your process will require read/write access to the entire c:\ drive. I would consider this to be a hugh security risk. if at all possible i would place the files on a seperate drive, or at a minimum restrict it to a specific sub directory on the remote machine.
use new System.IO.FileInfo or System.IO.File to access the file. just pass the full path to the object.
use the System.IO.TextReader to read each line from the file into a IList<string>. close the stream/file.
process the data. open the file once your done, and write the changes back using System.IO.TextWriter.

Provide more information.
How many servers are you dealing with? Are the files in the same location every time? What access do you have to the server? Do you have to access them over a LAN or a WAN?

Do you know the file name or do you have to search all files to find the one you're looking for?

unless the person has network admin rights there should be a problem connecting to the c:\ of a remote machine.
to get to a non-shared drive use this
string filepath = @"\\[server name here]\c$";
