Hi

Is it possible to gain access to a folder through a Port ??

Instead of using a shared folder, i use a port instead to gain access to it ??

Cheers

When you make a connection to a shared folder you are using a port. Your computer has to communicate with the server somehow. If you want to use the tcp/ip stack in a application you could. I forget the exact port numbers but you can get a complete list here


Your code will have to dig into the tcp/ip stack. Make a connection then send the proper message blocks. It seems like a lot of extra work.
