get image from a local network location

[normm]

Hi all,

I have been asked to add image retreval from a CCTV camera to our application. I have figured out the indexing of files and how to manipulate them once an image file has been recovered from the camera however I cannot seem to get clarion to recover the file from a location on our local network.

E.G. This works.....

 COPY('C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\Images\image.jpg','C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\ImageArchive\image2.jpg')

OBVIOUSLY...

however this doesn't

 COPY('//192.168.154.7/jpg/image.jpg','C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\ImageArchive\image2.jpg')

OR this......

 COPY('\\192.168.154.7\jpg\image.jpg','C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\ImageArchive\image2.jpg')

OR this....

 COPY('http:\\192.168.154.7\jpg\image.jpg','C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\ImageArchive\image2.jpg')

OR this.....

 COPY('[URL unfurl="true"]http://192.168.154.7/jpg/image.jpg','C:\Bespoke62\SpycamTest\ImageArchive\image2.jpg')[/URL]

Am I even approaching this in the correct way? - Do I need any add-ons such as I.P. Driver v2.0.

Any help greatly recieved

Normm.

Does you tried mapping to a network drive?

What is the ErrorCode() returned?

thanks Gaudalier - I cheated in the end - I setup the cam to transfer images to an ftp site on my local computer - that way the first example in my last post seems to work ! result! now I just have to compare the file names with the events stored in the DB and i Cracked the problem.

Hi Normm,

I see you have posted this in the SV Forums and Mike Hanson has suggested you try it first on the Command Prompt. The reason is that if you are trying to copy from a shared drive on another workstation, you need access rights and the share name. So if your C drive is shared as C$ and your IP is 192.168.200.1, then somebody can copy a file called TEST.fil from your Windows folder like :

copy \\192.168.200.1\c$\windows\test.fil ....

providing they have rights to access your drive.
